The new song “Cash For Nothing” was written and recorded in the spirit of a instantly recognizable pop tune. nnThom Forr, Senior Writer/Producer with HHL, said, “Working with Bob Farnsworth and the entire team at Hummingbird was a blast. Bob took the time to listen to what we had to say, didn’t act like he was the smartest guy in the room (which he was,) and then collaborated with us-step by step-to produce an ideal piece of original music and lyrics for our project. Our client, Royal Farms, is not only delighted with the result, but is also enjoying a great return on their investment. There’s a reason why Mr. Farnsworth and the folks at Hummingbird have been successful for so long…they get it!”nn”If everyone was as fun to work with as Thom Forr, we would feel guilty for charging our clients for our work. The agency’s concept for this campaign was solid, and I anticipate that the melody is going to stick. We believe that Royal Farms will really end up ‘cashing in’ on this promotion,” said Farnsworth.nnAbout ROYAL FARMSnSince 1959, Royal Farms, a privately owned chain of convenience stores, has been satisfying the mid-Atlantic area’s hunger for real fresh food served real fast.
