A little quiet today through Sunday and then BOOM next Monday back into 12 hours a day/ 7 days a week. I sent out some emails and hopefully you'll get a call in the next day or so from a very talented female copywriter.
Be Well and talk soon.

I'll be around Saturday until around 1 or so and then back around 4 or 5. Sunday is fairly wide open. Maybe grab Photoman and I can grill some burgers or something. Let me know.
And - female copywriter? Nedding to send perfumed prose? I know several good ones. Either wait for the weekend or email me at jsgilbert@pacbell.net with what you're looking for, such as strong corporate B to B, Humor, more commercial, etc.

Its me David T from Malaysia. How are you?

Have not been on AdGabber alot lately. I can see that you have opportunities for animators and such. Things are turning out bad over here in Asia and the political uncertainty is much greater here in Malaysia. I have just finished my current contract with my client on A & P advisory, I was wondering is it possible to work with an agent in US to solicit jobs over to Malaysia (which is cheaper) to fill up some economy black holes here caused by the global inflation?

Leapin Frog has people who does graphics / FA / illustrations, web masters and marketeers. We believe in giving our most sincere advise and work to all our clients.

All the while we have been dealing with local enterprises and some sub-contracted work from local magazines.

I hope you can help us to develop more of our experience and portfolio in the west. We would appreciate very much if you could give us a chance.

Cheers

David T
