"TV advertising once required horribly expensive Madison Avenue ad agencies, that was before Nick Grouf figured out that some ads don't require a high-maintenance artiste and a three-martini lunch."

Fortune, May 2007

"For $499 plus the cost of airtime, Spot Runner will plug your photo[s] and personalized narration into an...ad and air it on television in about a week. By comparison, traditional ad agencies can charge thousands of dollars, and the creative process can take months."
