Boston - The Menino Campaign announced today that it will launch its first television commercial.

The 30-second spot was produced by the highly-respected Washington, D.C.-based media firm of Murphy Putnam.  

“Mayor Menino is arguably the best mayor in the nation and I’m very proud to be working for him again,” Steve Murphy, a principal and cofounder of the firm.  Mr. Murphy’s firm worked for Mayor Menino’s 2005 campaign.

“It’s an unfiltered look at the mayor, speaking with voters about what he believes,” Murphy added.

The ad will run for two weeks on Boston television.  The initial buy is slightly over $100,000.
