Jack & Nick have brought about more expansion in our business in the past three months than we thought possible. They got us to see the big picture while explaining everything along the way. Jack and Nick took the time to understand our business goals and tailored their approach to us. We wouldn’t trust our company with anyone else!

When I met Nick and Jack, my business was called Total Census Solutions, which was relevant to the niche I first started in (Senior Housing), but to the rest of the world it was confusing and very forgettable. Just by reviewing my Bio, before we even had much time to speak, Nick and Jack shot back a bunch of ideas about how my business was really centered around getting people the maximum ROI in their advertising, and spun out The ROI Guy brand for me. In the past 2 years since they helped me reinvent my brand, my business has taken off! Now everywhere I go, people call me the ROI Guy, which is fun, however, the most important thing is they also know where to call when they need solutions for tracking their marketing campaigns and getting the greatest ROI! Oh yeah, and they also like to have a bit of fun too!

“The Celebrity Branding folks are all professionals in every sense of the word. From start to finish, they have always been a class act. They have guided us, inspired us and most important, looked out for us. And they have great morals and ethics to boot!”

Nick, We were interviewed live today by Fox 40 
“I chose Dicks Nanton Agency because they get it. A lot of people provide marketing and PR but I was impressed with their ability to understand what drives a customer to do business with you. That’s pretty rare. I really felt that I needed a fresh vision in my business to help us pull off the extraordinary for our clients. I’m looking to Dicks Nanton Agency to provide fresh insight into Florida Leisure Vacation Homes and to help me take it to the next level,”
In the July issue of our newsletter, I talked about opportunity brought about by economic upheavals. The government bailout that Congress just passed is the next opportunity.
There is no question that all of our customers and clients are concerned about what is going to happen next, and rightly so. However, as I mentioned in the previous newsletter, problems mean opportunity.
Problem: People are being laid off.
The Opportunity: Job-training programs, employment agencies and entrepreneurial training are all businesses that can prosper. I think that franchising (one of our businesses) will get interest from lots of people who have previously been interested in doing something else, but have been reluctant to move because they had a good job. Now they may be unemployed and the decision is made for them. Many of these people have some money saved and realize that they need to do something with it before they spend it trying to hold out.
Problem: Real Estate foreclosures.
The Opportunity: The government bailout will create multiple opportunities by offering real estate to investors who are willing to move it off the banks’ books. Sure, the investor will have to hold the property for a few years, but you may be able to buy at 20 cents on the dollar.
Problem: Lenders not making loans.
The Opportunity: In the past, people have put together private pools of money to back local projects for a good interest rate; and since there are not many good investments out there this will get interest again.
Look in your own town and see where the problems lie. Wherever the problems are, the guy that can help solve them can do some good and make some money. Those of you who remember the last government bailout (The RTC) in the late 80s early 90s know what I mean. Fortunes were made solving problems then, and new fortunes are going to made solving the problems again.
