THE MARKETING MARKSMAN DIFFERENCE
We believe that marketing is meant to be a profitable investment, not a pointless expense. For every dollar spent, you should expect to earn your money back plus a decent profit. We are committed to getting results for our clients by creating powerfully persuasive and professional marketing that is Credible, Convincing, Cost-Effective, and Clever (i.e. our trademark Four C's of Campaigning).
We explain it this way: you don't hire a dry cleaner to "try" and clean your suit, you pay them because they are an expert at what they do and can get results. This should be true for marketing, despite the fact that most "so-called" expert don't feel that way.
OUR QUALIFICATIONS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS
I am a trained and certified, full-time, professional marketing specialist with a vast portfolio of advertising accomplishments. I have a Bachelor of Commerce (B.Comm) degree from one of Canada's Top Universities, over a decade of experience, including the successful launch / re-launch of many businesses and products in many industries and countries.
Marketing Marksman is a full-time, full-service ad agency. My talented team and I are fully qualified to help you with marketing research & strategy, product positioning, graphics, advertising, direct marketing, website design, search engine optimization & marketing (SEO & SEM), or any other marketing service you may need now or in the future as your business prospers.
THE PERIL OF PREFERRING AN EAGER AMATEUR
In stark contrast, most "self-proclaimed" marketing experts you will find prowling around the web have no formal training, no real world experience, and do it as a part-time hobby from their basement to earn extra money. No qualified experts would be willing or could possibly work for $10 per hour no matter what they say.
While overly friendly and frugal freelancers are tempting, marketing is too vital to the survival and success of your business to be trusted to an eager, economical, fly-by-night amateur. Just read the tragic story of what happened to Five Star Publications Inc. and see for yourself: http://www.ifreelance.com/provider/reviews.aspx?providerid=26137
