It’s been exciting to see this “Ed Lee for SF Mayor” endorsement video go from concept to reality over the past few months and launch to such an overwhelmingly positive reaction today. Lots of hard work from everyone involved, and big shout-out to Ron Conway for making every part of this happen.
Portal A, you guys already had my endorsement as a kick-ass agency and production shop, but I’m blown away at how quickly you guys took this from concept from to reality. Perfectly self-aware, and awesomely-timed. Amazing work.
From TechCrunch, to Wired, to Talking Points Memo, to the NYT, this here, folks, is how the magic happens.
