It's about taking your business to the next level. It's about managing resources, time, and money to take advantage of your strengths and your competitions' weaknesses. The goal is to bring out your best and to show customers that they would be ABSOLUTELY NUTS not to do business with you!

As a 25+-year veteran in the retail advertising industry, Phil successfully helped to build and evolved USA Drug (a regional drug chain) into a market leader. Taking existing budgets and programs, he increased reach and frequency of the USA Drug's message. The results were increased prescription counts, increased overall customer counts, and increased sales…all during a time of flat to negative same store sales as the norm in the industry.
After increasing shares to the point that Walgreens bought the chain, Phil toook his knowledge to help small shops and businesses market themselves. He planned, budgeted and produced material that branded these businesses, most minimal monetary exposure for the company. By using social media, he was able to increase exposure for these companies, helping them gain added sells.
In this fast pace changing enviroment of the marketing world, Phil has not relied just on his BS degree in Advertising that he received from the University of Tennessee Knoxville. Keeping up with new media and advances in the industry, Phil has obtained Google Analytics certification; certification in HTML5, CSS3 JavaScript; HubSpot Content Marketing certification, Marketing Your Business Online certification; Social Media Marketing certification; and Digital Photography certification.

A good ad stresses product benefits, arouse curiosity and provide information.
Leo Burnett said, "The sole purpose of business is service. The sole purpose of advertising is explaining the service which business renders."
