Dallas-based 7-Eleven Inc. made a big media splash when its CEO, Joe DePino, appeared on one of CBS' newest hit shows, "Undercover Boss," by receiving more than $1.5 million in media value, according to Front Row Analytics.
"After only three episodes, 'Undercover Boss' intrigued viewers by bringing together the average employee with upper management.
