Franchise firm stars on TV show

Clockwork Home Services, a Sarasota-based firm that oversees three franchise operations, is now in the same company as national brands like Subway and Waste Management.

The companies were all featured on the first three episodes of the new AMC TV show “The Pitch.” The show chronicles how national and global advertising firms win clients — a somewhat real life version of AMC's hit TV show “Mad Men,” which is about a fictional advertising firm. The companies on “The Pitch” challenge advertising firms to compete with each other to create the best campaign.

“This seemed like a great fit for us,” Clockwork President Scott Boose tells Coffee Talk. “Any bit of national exposure we can get for the brand is great.”
