You are correct—we are getting what we are willing to pay for. Raleigh can do better and should do better, but it starts with having the right people in the right places. If we continue to hire people from places like Rock Hill to manager our city and it’s activities, these are the kinds of results that we will continue to get!

if the Raleigh Convention Center expects to attract high dollar/high paying/high-falutin’ thousands and thousands of dollars worth of clients to rent their facility, they really need to pay professionals to put together professional, nuances, sophisticated visuals, soundtracks and messages. If you want to attract the money, you have to be willing to spend a little bit. You get what you pay for.

p.s. I am a native, born in Raleigh resident and I think this is the worst promotional piece I have ever seen; and I’ve seen a lot.

perhaps if they actually hired a professional motion graphic/broadcast/video designer (a good one, I mean), the piece could have had some meaning and coherence and an interesting message (tho maybe raleigh just isn’t that avante garde and they were only working with the slim pickings available). This looked like a bunch of hacks got together to makes something to attract redneck cowboy sports loving locals to a basketball game rather than attract high tech, educated, cultured clients to the area. How pathetic.

Just getting on this train and finally watched the video. I am horrified! I not known for being mean or handing out insults but I am completely insulted and embarrassed by this video. The song was unpalatable…btw – Chris, loved the title…I could barely get through the video with that twang. A Connells song would completely rock on a project like this…They ARE Raleigh and anyone from Raleigh would know that.
