Consultant to Businesses regarding their advertising and marketing. I evaluated their processes for their business type, their plant/manufacturing/distribution details, and their office staff, to create registration within the Thomas Register. After my evaluation meeting, I was responsible for presentation of creating the information and text descriptions for each category for print, as well as on the Internet and CD. In addition, I was instrumental in working and coordinating with my creative staff of independent graphic artists & web masters who took my input and made various print versions of ads, as well as creating their new websites. I would also evaluate and assist with specific brochures, flyers, and magazines for their peripheral use.

As Manager of Magazine Manufacturing, I was responsible for work on various magazines, as well as assist a staff of thirty magazine coordinators. I worked on magazine layouts with editorial staff, meetings with other managers from finance to delivery. Traveled to McGraw-Hill in Washington D.C.regarding a book program Visited printing presses for best operation choices.

First and foremost, I worked intimately with Modern Photography staff departments: art, editorial, circulation, advertising and sales to coordinate magazine manufacturing. I had two managers under me, one on Modern Photography and another on McCall's Needlework regarding the layout/dummy. I also worked on the budget for best options for press. I also traveled to various printing plants in the country to monitor color and quality, especially with comparisons of cameras, photos, specials, etc.; from one camera/film company vs another camera/film company, or a photographer's best shots, or any other highlighted programs, or retrospective,or a special issue layouts I made decisions for layout and color, special inserts in magazine, budget changes. I was often called on by the Publisher regarding my opinion about an issue, or the best way to add something to a layout, and sometimes for me to decide which I would chose from two of his ideas. When needed, I also responded to any problems or issues from other departments. When needed, I arbitrated to keep us on track.

I managed my Graphic Artists for creation of thousands of advertisements & inserts to Thomas Register. I also worked closely with the Sales Department, where I evaluated and interpreted their clients' ideas. I had each artist working on specific clients. My artists would do three options from my evaluations. Upon reviewing the samples for the best layout, photos and text, I would make changes and pulled the best out from wonderful artists who turned out great product for Thomas Register. I also worked with the Production Department regarding the film made from our ads. Any damages or issues were brought to me to edit or remake the film. I oversaw the entire final copy and delivery of all advertisements and inserts to the our printing press.
