Development of an Education Based Marketing Program
Sets Your Firm up as an Authority in the Industry I have over 20 years experience of writing, editing and producing
magazines and newspapers.  I can write education based articles on your industry and develop your firm to a position
of authority in the marketplace.  This is a major advantage over the rest of the marketplace, as most companies do not
have a publishing or marketing presence.  Most companies have a full-color brochure kit with a few pictures of
samples. This is the extent of their marketing efforts.  This does not differentiate them from anyone else in the
marketplace.  If there is nothing memorable or beneficial for the client to keep and use this piece, it'll be thrown in the
garbage or filed and forgotten.

Development of Public Relations and Publicity Releases
To Take Advantage Of Free Promotion Writing and producing publicity releases and developing a public-relations

in the lower mainland is in my database.  Once a release is produced, it is quickly sent out the entire market.
