Peter Levitan & Co.

First of all... buy my new book How To Build A Kick-Ass Advertising Agency. Next: I advise advertising, design, and digital agencies around the world on how to build a larger new business pipeline and win more new accounts. I do this by helping agencies to create distinctive brand positions and lead generation business development programs. My client base is international. I take a strategic and active approach to creating effective inbound and outbound sales programs based on 30 years of business development management at global and regional agencies and at my two internet startups. Visit my website at www.peterlevitan.com to see my extensive advertising agency, digital marketing, and business development background + insightful blog posts on how to build a winning new business program. If you need a head start, buy my book, "The Levitan Pitch. Buy This Book. Win More Pitches.", at Amazon.

I owned my own advertising and digital design agency in Portland, OR. Our clients included Nike, Montana Lottery, Harrah's Hotels and Casinos, The United Nations and regional accounts across the western states. I founded two industry-leading Internet publishing and technology start-ups in New York and New Jersey. Microsoft bought ActiveBuddy. I was named The Newspaper Association of America’s “New Media Pioneer” in 1999. I've written for industry websites like HubSpot, AdPulp, Talent Zoo and Advertising Week.
