Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, One Hour Heating and Air Conditioning and Mr. Sparky - franchise brands of Clockwork Home Services - will be featured on a May 7 episode of AMC’s new reality series “The Pitch.” The series chronicles the high stakes and tight deadlines top advertising agencies encounter when they set out to win new business.

“We believed our brands had matured to the point that we could make a splash nationally,” Clockwork’s Vice President of MarketingChris Buitrontold Plumbing & Mechanical. “While the brands have been on TV before, ‘The Pitch’ seemed different. It’s more of a documentary than a reality show.”

Buitron, Clockwork Home Services PresidentScott Booseand Group President of Consumer ServicesRebecca Casselhad much to do in a short period of time, including making that all-important decision on the ad campaign. And the agencies had to learn about the plumbing, heating and electrical service industries in the same short timeframe.
