September "Lunch and Learn" Event
Business Fitness | Smart Moves to Stay Competitive

Dawn LennonStaying competitive in the advertising industry these days is no mean trick. The struggling economy, high expectations, low budgets and client wariness put tremendous pressure on advertising service providers—you!  Changes in technology, free social media tools, and the cost of doing business often feel like a tightening vise.  The winners in your industry will have a clear and realistic view of what they want and a commitment to being "business fit".  Just like in the wild, business is about survival of the fittest.
This presentation will cover the smart moves of business fitness and how they can deliver the success you want, your way.
