OVR ad campaign for employment of disabled individuals

The “We Can Work” campaign is intended to raise awareness that people with disabilities can work without worrying about losing their benefits. The campaign will provide education and outreach not only to those seeking employment, but to family members, advocates, and employers as well. The campaign, in its first phase, will consist of commercials featuring people who are already working, or employers who are already hiring people with disabilities, and highlighting their success in integrated employment.

We are looking for someone from anywhere in Pennsylvania who would be a good spokesperson for this and who would be willing to share their employment experiences in this ad.

The intention is to begin filming in April, and the filming will be arranged around any potential individual’s schedule. The filming day would entail Commonwealth Media Services spending the day with the person and/or their employer, interviewing them, and accompanying the person around to get footage of them throughout their work day.
