Remember the last recession? That’s when strong branding, accurate targeting, and cost-effective marketing communication really paid off. In boom times, there’s more money to waste and more dumb willingness to waste it. My skills as a copywriter were forged and honed during the hard times. So, I still believe that it takes more than pretty pictures and pleasant words to sell a $750,000 product. Call me old-fashioned. Or, just call me: (619) 465-6100.
