Advertising Consulting Business Plan

The company will have four officers including our president, Mr. Curtiss Cole. Our head of operations will be Mr. David Danielson, plus two advertising consultants, and a graphic artist. Mr. Winn will handle all of our audio-visual design work and he will eventually have a staff of graphic artists working under him. Finances and general admin will be handled by Mrs. Marks.

The company plans to hire additional advertising consultants, graphic artists and administrative personnel as we begin to get large numbers of contracts.
