About the Marketing Team We're a multi-skilled multimedia production and marketing company. We work with start-ups, small- and medium-sized businesses and entrepreneurs. We seek joint ventures with companies and entrepreneurs with global marketing potential and can sell your products on commission using sales and marketing tactics outlined on this web sites. We're also Charlie Chaplin lean. Like Charlie, we write the script, direct, film, edit, animate, sometimes even compose the music, do voice over narrations, compress, host the movies on our servers, and create organic optimization for search engine marketing, and create pay-per-click campaigns on Google, Yahoo and MSN. We handle sales video production, Search Engine Marketing, online documents, and all all types of print materials: company graphic standards, logos, business cards, slim jims, folders, brochures, catalogs, tabloid newspapers, newsletters, full-color magazines. We are in internet selling ourselves. From a growing number of our own web sites we sell to US, Canada, Japan, Ireland, The Bahamas, Australia … We know the links that help, links that hurt, "black hat" tactics that can get you banned from search engines, over-optimization filters and other Yahoo, MSN, and Google strategies. We drill deeper. What makes our offering so valuable (at least we think so) is that we have tested (and continually test) these marketing methods in our businesses and on our own web sites selling products. On one of our own sites, we've increased business 10-fold using these intelligent, information-rich selling methods.

Andy is an amazing reader and voice talent, he can make the telephone book ("thin plot but many characters") sound absolutely riveting — you'll cry, you'll laugh, you'll shake your fists, you'll sob quietly, and at the end, you'll bask in the afterglow and feel one with the universe — and especially those people whose names he read from the telephone book.
