Boulder, Colorado – The path to Hollywood runs through Boulder – again. Boulder's Windward Reports, the business reporting software leader that made national news when its first viral marketing video was featured on MSNBC, is back at it. Windward Reports has re-teamed with Luke Barats and Joe Bereta for the 2010 installment of Cubicle Wars, a humorous look at two office workers who spend their days thinking up innovative pranks. The first Cubicle Wars won an American Advertising Federation award for creative excellence in advertising in 2007 and helped propel its creators into a contract for an NBC pilot television show.
Cubicle Wars is a two-minute online video that leverages alternative marketing methods to boost Windward Reports' brand image.It puts the power of low-cost viral marketing to work as YouTube viewers forward the video to their friends, who then forward it to others, and so on.
"Here we are in Colorado, working with a creative team in Spokane, Washington, to create a video that is viewed by millions of people in Europe, Asia and around elsewhere the world," said Shirley Clawson, CEO of Windward Studios. "In today's global economy, successful marketing projects need worldwide appeal and affordable distribution. Cubicle Wars demonstrates both."

Luke Barats and Joe Bereta began collaborating in 2003 at Gonzaga University where they were active in the theater department, broadcasting department, and led the school's improv comedy troupe. Later that year they began making short videos to amuse their friends which were eventually compiled on a website.
In 2005 Barats and Bereta won the Brickwall Amateur Comedy Competition with their two-man stand up routine. That same year they won the Spokane First Night Film Festival and received some sweet plaques to prove it. Since then their short, punchy videos have made their way around the Internet and have been seen by a goodly number of people.
Barats and Bereta are currently employed at Cornerbooth Film & Video Production and perform improv with ComedySportz in Spokane, Washington.
About Windward Reports

Also unique, Windward Reports implements in hours, offers affordable server -based pricing, and offers "prompt, fantastic" technical support via a 24/7 support forum and support contracts.
