PMA works with FLATE on Promo for State Manufacturing Month
The Polk Manufacturers Association used its influence and creative skills to develop a series of public service announcement videos for use in the state during the month of November and beyond. These 30-second spots were created using footage from the successful "Made in Florida" production from FLATE, the Florida Advanced Technology Education Center, housed at the Hillsborough Community College/Brandon campus. Spots were created for each of the eight Florida Manufacturing Associations and distributed via DVD and web to each region for use as a highlight of the Manufacturing Month celebration.
