(New York, NY) --- Independent agency, The Romann Group has been hired by Verizon communications for creative support to its FiOS systems within special NY markets. The agency has created over 25 different pieces of work for FiOS through the use of unique aggressive campaigns that construct a future reality for current customers. TRG’s headlines have been geared to creating a way of life not just a service. Such headlines as, “We see the future, and built a network to accommodate it” or “HD sports so real you will have to wipe the sweat from your flat screen.” were wildly successful in the Long Island communities of Hicksville, Wantagh, and Lynbrook. This campaign has been spurred by a high level of opposition from “another” Long Island cable/internet provider, whose position in the community has been challenged by the highly competitive Verizon FiOS system. "Today, more New York residents have been given an outstanding, superior choice for their video entertainment,” said Monica Azare, Verizon senior vice president for New York and Connecticut. "No longer will customers be at the mercy of a single cable-TV company. They'll have Verizon FiOS TV.

Consumers can check online at www.verizon.com/fiostv to see if FiOS TV is already available in their area, or to request that Verizon contact them when FiOS TV becomes available. Customers also can call their local Verizon sales office or 1-800-880-2941.
