Spot On

Spot On is a commercial production division of Harrington Talents. It was established in 2009 as the influx of demand for commercial, industrial, and viral productions rose for Harrington. Owners Frank Mosca and Stephen Franciosa Jr. felt it necessary to establish a subsidiary that solely dealt with commercial and promotional production.

Spot On projects

Larry The Cable Guy: A Sleeve is a Terrible Thing to Waste was done for the History Channel to promote of Larry's show Only in America with Larry the Cable Guy.
HCG Platinum with Carmen Electra was an infomercial done for the weight loss supplement.
In 2011, Spot On worked on a public service announcement (PSA) entitled Not Acceptable done for the Spread the Word to End the Word campaign. It was a controversial treatment that advocated removing the word "retard" from use as a personal description. It shows people of many backgrounds expressing the unacceptable nature behind many derogatory words. The spot culminates with Jane Lynch and Lauren Potter of Fox Television's GLEE imploring everyone to remove the word from everyday language.^[3] It has garnered support from the Special Olympics, Best Buddies, the NAACP, the Anti Defamation League, GLAAD, and many other organizations.
