Just Over A Month Away.....

Are you going to AUSA this year? It's right around the corner.... just over a month away, actually! Time flies, and it will be here before we know it. We had a great time at last year's AUSA, with Wii golf in our booth (can you believe everyone wanted to play as Tiger Woods then? Ah, how times have changed in one short year....). We'll be there again this year, and hope to see you! If you need anything new (or updated) for your booth, let us know ASAP!

Metro Producing NEMA Smart Grid Videos

Metro has begun creating a series of educational videos for NEMA (the National Electrical Manufacturers Association), focusing on Smart Grid technology and energy. The projects were a product of a grant received from the Department of Energy, funded by the Recovery Act. Metro is thrilled to be partnering with NEMA, and looks forward to producing excellent videos for them! Read NEMA's press release here.

Metro's First EMPixx Award

We submitted to the EMPixx Awards for the first time this year, and guess what? We won! Northrop Grumman's "Uncertain Times" won a gold EMPixx award, and we are so proud! "Uncertain Times" was shot on a set in Los Angeles, and starred Ronald Lee Ermey, better known as "Gunney" from the movie "Full Metal Jacket." It was produced by Richie Ellison, who did a fantastic job of pulling together all of the different elements and moving parts to create a motivating and interesting video. Northrop Grumman is using the video primarily for recruitment, and the videos they have completed with us in the past have consistently been award-winning.
