Emphasiz on the Run Emphasiz on the Run Mary Ziegler and emphasiz productions have been busy. Work at emphasiz includes a joint venture between Hilti Tools and Orkin Exterminating Company highlighting the drills and tools used in pest and termite control. A project involving Orkin and KMart is also in pre-production. The shoot location provides some challenges: it takes place in a KMart stockroom overnight! Other recent Orkin projects include an update of a sales presentation video for termite technicians and two programs introducing a special brand of Orkin insulation that prevents infestation.

emphasiz productions also joined forces with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) when Ziegler was chosen as Writer for a video conference on a very hot topic in medicine: Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci (VRE). VRE is a dangerous pathogen that causes many hospital infections. The response to the video conference set new CDC records, with more than 30,000 North American participants.

Ziegler also teamed up with Scottish Rite Children's Center to write and produce two programs in 1997: "Care of the Central Venous Catheter (CVC) Line," and "Sedation and Analgesia for Auxiliary Hospital Departments." On the table for 1998 is the completion of a program for parents of children who need a spica cast (lower chest to toe cast).
