Intern farewell: Goodbye Meagan!


Alas, it is the last day we'll enjoy Meagan Bradshaw's company (for now, at least). Meagan has been a very hard-working intern for us – writing scripts, mission statements, copywriting, running errands, and most important of all, baking outstanding cupcakes and sharing them with all of us at the office! The summer is almost over and she's heading back to WSU to continue her studies. Don't worry though, we hope to see Meagan back in our office over all major holidays :)

Meagan treated us to this magnificent cupcake collage as a farewell. Cheers Meagan!

Nascar of the Columbia

Taking advantage of every opportunity, Mitch and friends were out on the river armed with cameras, ready for the action of boat races. Needless to say, there was a lot of fun to be had, and some incredible shots of the hydros.

Watch Out 90210


Focal Point Marketing is working with St. Anthony Hospital in Pendleton, Oregon on a television commercial campaign. Lucky for Mitch, the two summer interns, Daniel Clark and Meagan Bradshaw, were willing and able to come along and help with set-up, stand-in for shots, and assist him in whatever was needed.

The shoot included filming doctors, nurses, and multiple instruments the hospital was featuring. The interns’ job was to assist in any way possible, Meagan was hooked up to the machine to get the blood pressure, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels showing on the screen. Daniel and Mitch got the shots they needed trying out interesting lighting techniques as Meagan sat in the corner with numerous wires attached to her.

Already in scrubs, the team decided to have some fun – handing medical instruments to 'doctor' Mitch. Everyone was looking fierce in medical garb, too!

Go to the "Our Work" page of our website and see the final commercial that resulted from this shoot.

Senator Patty Murray Visits The Reach


We were asked by The REACH to cover the 10th Anniversary Celebration of the Hanford Reach National Monument. Senator Patty Murray was coming to speak and we took the opportunity to interview her to save for use in future projects. In the photo you see Mitch running the camera and Daniel Clark (our summer intern) running the boom mic.

Start Your Engines!


Focal Point Marketing recently created a basic website for the 3 Rivers Corvette Club. It makes me want to hop in a Stingray Corvette and hit the highway going 90mph. McCurley Integrity Dealerships sponsors the 3RCC, which meets every second Monday at Cousin's Restaurant in Pasco. Visit www.3riverscorvetteclub.net!
