Building the Ideal Creative Team - what makes a ROBOT? It's the time of the year when you need to look back on your marketing activities from 2005, evaluate what worked and what didn't and plan ahead for 2006.

We've put together a simple planning checklist that will help you get your materials organized.

Want Some Planning Help?
Whether you are looking for advice, honest feedback or just "scheduled motivation", we can help you get your marketing, advertising and visibility efforts evaluated, organized and planned for 2006. Choose your format:

Small Group Workshops
In December and January, we will be scheduling group reviews. Non-competing businesses will gather in groups of 4-6 and lay it all on the table. Use a group of peer advisors to get real feedback and advice based on real experience.

Facilitated Management Retreats
Get your whole management team together and take it off-site for extra productivity. Throw in a facilitator to ensure that the team stays on track and goals are met by the end of the designated meeting. Can you imagine walking out of a room with a clear plan?

One-on-One
We are always happy to provide evaluations, reviews and planning on a one-on-one basis. Just give us a call.

Contact Lara ASAP to schedule a December or January meeting!
