I enjoy sharing new business advice for advertising, digital, media and PR agencies from my professional experience.
Since 2007, I’ve been creating helpful, tutorial and tactical information on business development through my blog, Fuel Lines. It has been rated among the top marketing blogs in the world by Ad Age’s Power 150.
I share advice almost daily through my personal networks on such as Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook. I’ve also created and given away tutorial and tactical information through SlideShare presentations and YouTube videos. But, even with all of the free advice, I still had many requests to set up a time to “pick my brain.”
It is flattering to have so many small, midsize and large agencies seeking my advice. It shows that they find value in what I have to say.
For those in need of help beyond the FREE stuff, I have created “Pick My Brain” as an addition to my consulting services.
How it works: We create an agenda and set-up a time for you to discuss your challenges. I provide my knowledge and experience to answer your questions and offer my assessment and advice for a fee of $250 for a one hour session.
To get the ball rolling: Simply email me your request. I will follow up, usually within a day, to set a day/time and agenda for a phone or video conference. A few days prior to this event, you will receive an invoice via PayPal to make payment.

I look forward to hearing from you!
