Co-Founders Mike Blasko and John Kaplan at LifeFormations
I’m very pleased to announce that beginning this week, Weigl Works LLC will be featured in American Express television and radio commercials airing nationally.
We filmed the commercial earlier this summer in Bowling Green, OH, on location at one of our customers, LifeFormations, main office. Our control systems are used to synchronize their animatronic characters, lighting, audio, video and more throughout theme parks and museums worldwide. Bowling Green was where John Kaplan (Co-Founder) and I first got our start in the industry; so this location choice seemed most fitting for the shoot.

The TV and radio commercials are scheduled to begin airing on various networks, including: NBC, CBS, FOX, MSNBC, AMC, ANE, BBC, Bloomberg, CNBC, ESPN, HGTV, LIFE, IFC, MLB, STYLE, TNT, BRAVO and others. It will also be featured during the AMEX-sponsored US Open.
Blasko and Kaplan discuss entrepreneurship in a technology business.
It’s been about 10 years since I held that initial American Express card. I can remember the majority of my business “firsts,” through the use of OPEN small business services. My first solo business trip, traveling abroad and procuring our first professional trade show exhibit. Most recently, we began further expanding our use of OPEN through ReceiptMatch to manage and organize our expense management, never an easy task for anyone.
Over the past few months, we’ve worked with American Express as a featured case study on our use of ReceiptMatch and Business Gold Rewards. It’s been a fascinating experience to watch how others view the excitement and creative intrigue of our business and industry – something we can take for granted. I couldn’t be happier with how our business is portrayed through this campaign and look forward to the national recognition this will help bring to our company and all of us working in the themed entertainment industry.
