About Me
Street wise, black sheep, rebellious kid who grew up to become an account executive, a shrewd businessman, a great schmoozer / salesman / closer, a marketing maven, and a rainmaker in the advertising business. My tongue is on fire.

These talents and skills allow me to: get the business, keep the business, grow the business, and direct the business.

I also relate well to and get along famously with creative people who create the product, because they relate to me. I know how to ask the client the right questions and listen for the correct answers, then communicate that information into the proper direction in a creative brief that sets up their work so it works. Then I know how to sell it.

I talk my clients into doing what is correct for them to pursue. I have my clients trust. I run their business as my business, so we both make a profit. I am the go-between, that makes things go.

How can I be of serv-us?

Areas of Expertise
WHAT SERVUS MEANS TO ME—As far as I’m concerned our business is all about ‘serv-us.’ I give it and demand it.

SERV-US is serving when you don’t have to serve. Serving when you don’t need to serve. Serving because you want to serve.

At 211 degrees, water is hot. At 212 degrees, it boils. And with boiling water comes steam. And steam can power a locomotive. The one extra degree makes all the difference. And so many times in business and in life, it’s that one extra degree of SERV-US that separates the average from the great.

Bend over backwards for every client. Forward for none.

They say, “The customer is always right”. . . Is the customer always right? Wrong! Do we need to treat them as if they are? Right! Because, if each of us do not find ways to do this in our individual businesses, those customers are going to let us know just how unhappy (and right!) they really are.

Thus, my answer to any reasonable client request that makes sense, is always yes.

‘100 Ways to Kill a Concept: Why Most Ideas Get Shot Down’

by Michael Iva, world renown new product launch specialist



Everyone has ideas. “Cogito Ergo Sum.” (I think, therefore I am.) ~Rene Descartes~ But then what?

For some, it is enough to have the idea. But most people aren’t satisfied by the mere act of thinking. Instead, they want to put those ideas to work. So, next they need to persuade someone else to embrace their newfound ideas in order for those ideas to be accepted and become a reality.

Businesses persuade customers, bosse… Continue

What drives you?

My pal Seth Godin thinks that most successful organizations are driven by something. Figuring that out isn’t always easy, and is often misunderstood:



MARKET DRIVEN: Lots of people claim this one, but few achieve it. Creating what the market wants. I’ll put JetBlue in this category.



MARKETING DRIVEN: Much more common. This involves creating what the marketing department wants. Like American Express.



FASHION DRIVEN: This involves changing the market to have it want what you just made. Arm… Continue

Please tell me you didn’t spend all day coming up with that. Handing out insults is as easy as handing out handshakes. And just like a slap to the face, finishing with a “just kidding” still leaves an impression. T

Mother Tucker. That comes in right behind Mother Trucker. People get so tickled with their ideas on my nameplay. As for my egg head. It’s scrambled. Get it? Scrambled? Egg head. Scrambled. Egg head. Stay sharp friend. You never know when you’ll get in a knife fight.
Cheers.
