I'm the sole proprietor of Pluck,a (tiny) creative shop that’s all about advertising for the little guy: the small business with big ambitions. So if you’re the CMO for Unilever or InBev, just keep walking, buddy. But if you’re a regular Joe or Jo who wants better ads, more sales, more customers, and all that sort of thing, we’re here to help.

I served on the board of the AdFed, the American Advertising Federation of West Michigan. The AdFed is an industry group serving West Michigan industry professionals who buy, sell, create, or produce services or products related to advertising.

As demand and my schedule permit, I teach a course called Concept Development for the School of Visual Communications at the Kendall School of Design. It's a semester-long course in theory and mechanics of generating creative ideas.

Our job was to communicate. We did it in different ways, depending where and when clients are listening. It could be over the phone, on a billboard, in a radio spot, on the net, or in a TV commercial. Each time, we found the single key selling message that influenced the market and delivered it in the most engaging way possible.To put it in industry terms.

I spent just six months working at Gemini, but I learned a ton. I planned printing for a weekly business publication, The Grand Rapids Business Journal, and two monthly magazines, Grand Rapids Magazine and Grand Rapids Parent. I allocated ad space, purchased printing, and supervised the Editorial Designer and Advertising Designer. I reported to the Owner.

Horizon owned or operated 40 Outlet Shopping Malls across the country, and as their Creative Supervisor, I oversaw three designers. Together, we created everything from table tents to double trucks. I wrote and produced radio spots, and provided creative direction on all of the advertising, including outdoor, newspaper, and print collateral. Our goal was.

Ninety percent of the time, I wrote radio commercials for scores of businesses. More importantly, I met with 10 account executives, and developed strategies for everything from supermarkets to bait shops. It was extremely hectic. It was also incredibly satisfying.

I wrote and produced radio copy for the Little Red Shoe House (a chain of 120 retail shoe stores) Trendsetter (10 stores) and the Rockford factory outlet mall. When I finished that, I made media buys for forty-odd radio markets. Slightly less fun (but necessary) was verifying all the bills when they rolled in. “What?” you say, “No print?” Actually, between.
