The new business “pitch” that Bee-line put together for the AMC series is  scheduled to air Thursday, Sept. 12 at 10 p.m. Central time.  The Pitch takes viewers behind the scenes as advertising agencies compete for  new business. Now in its second season, the series follows 16 small and mid- sized agencies as they compete for new business from such marketers as Little  Caesars, Gibson Guitar Corp. and Tommy Bahama.  The student interns Lisa Peltekian ’13, Max Polisky ’13 and Mary Heath ’13  gained valuable experience and learned firsthand how advertising agencies  compete for new business during last spring’s filming of the episode.   After serving as global marketing communications director at Motorola,  McClenathan launched Bee-line Communications in 2005. The firm, based in  Libertyville, Ill., was ranked on Inc. Magazine’s 500/5000 list of the fastest  growing privately held companies, a ranking based on three-year revenue- growth rates. The agency serves clients such as Motorola, Johnson Controls, Abbott, The Field Museum and  International Capital Group.
