Everyday Heroes and Leaders

Everyday Heroes and Leaders

A few years before the attack on 9/11, R. Michael Brown wrote and produced a 90 sec. spot that was the essence of what this Motorola Business & Government Division (now called Motorola Solutions) did for the wireless market including two-way radios, systems, and 911 systems.

At the time R. Michael Brown was the Motorola Marketing Communications Mgr./Writer-Multimedia Producer in Plantation, Florida and worked around the world producing content – some of which was on Discovery Channel and ABC Wide World of Sports.

  • Project: Business and Government Brand Video
  • Campaign Message: Help teammates work together, no matter where they are, no matter what information they need.
  • Use: Shown at Motorola Board of Directors meeting, sales presentations, customer briefing centers, employee town halls, Motorola Museum, civic groups and government meetings.
  • Results: A standing ovation everywhere it played.
