Great article, it inspired me to create my own ad and media company. So far Ive received some hits and a few inquiries and only 2 local clients that totaling only $560 /mo.

Hopefully www.mattbny.com can thrive in this recession.

I have this gut feeling to get four advertising people together and start an ad agency in Chicago even as the numbers with the bigees slide down.
I have business to look at us as an agency and I envisage many clients from my home country looking forward to understanding this newagency platform because you and me know the country better than they do and without interference from Wpps and the Euros and Hakukodos we can build a better mousetrap for these imported accounts that must sell products in the USA…
Anybody want to write to me….
Those who are with fire and guts….
And a chance to say ‘We can’
write to me onthis bloggy space or say hello on my email.
