From 1999 through 2011, I worked full-time for a small, family-owned company that specialized in Automotive Advertising & Promotions. As our company president always told people, "We are to advertising what M*A*S*H is to surgery." We were down and dirty, in and out, the goal being to SELL, SELL, SELL and get people excited about buying a new (or new to them) vehicle. This is where I honed my expertise in all things print...newspaper ads, inserts, direct mail, specialty pieces...and started to dabble in web design and social media.
