Last year, the Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce blew our minds with the creative and super-memorable Mr. Perfect video promotions. According to the Chamber:
“Mr. Perfect took us on a tour of some unreal companies who moved to Chattanooga and were unbelievably successful. Now he returns in a musical extravaganza. And this time he’ll have to convince his toughest audience yet that Chattanooga is, literally, perfect for her.”
