Visa’s Online Campaign Series Highlights Experiences of Five New York City-Area Businesses
New York, NY (July 31, 2015) — New York-based Tzell Travel Group announced today that Eric Hrubant, President of its CIRE Travel division, is prominently featured by financial services giant Visa in its new series of long-form commercials that highlight how it’s benefiting small business owners. Hrubant is one of five businesspersons from New York City featured in the year-long “Last Check Ever” campaign, which is now live via Visa’s small business social media and digital channels. The one-minute-forty-second commercial may be viewed here.
“While my team and I prefer working behind the scenes to make travel far easier for our clients, Visa provided us an excellent opportunity to briefly encapsulate our story and discuss how they make it even easier for my team to deliver for our clients,” explained Hrubant. “I’m particularly pleased that Visa chose to showcase the vibrancy of travel agencies, which are not just thriving, but booming. Visa’s small business services – coupled with the incredible tools and resources provided by Tzell – are enabling my team to focus our attention on our clients’ needs.”
Hrubant credits networking within the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce in helping him land the opportunity; CIRE Travel is one of over 10,000 members of the chamber. That led to his being approached by a booking agency for an audition and subsequent invitation to shoot the commercial at a Brooklyn studio on May 1, although that was no guarantee that his commercial segment would be selected.
“By being authentic to who he is as a travel professional and businessman, Eric Hrubant was ultimately selected for the Visa spot,” noted Tzell Travel Group CEO Barry Liben. “We’re thrilled that he is representing CIRE Travel and the entire Tzell organization so capably.”
“The power of networking is extremely important as evidenced by my experience with the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce – you just never know where an opportunity to build your business can come from,” noted Hrubant, whose personal goal is to someday have the largest division within Tzell. “It’s fundamentally important to spend and invest in your business as we continually do. The dividends it pays are worth every penny.”
