G Advertising: Think it… Create it… Distribute it…
There are three parts to any advertising strategy. Pre-production (think it), production (create it), and distribution (distribute it). This tri-pod of elements works only if all three legs are developed properly. Without any of these three items an advertising strategy will fail. Normally the most expensive part of the three legs is the distribution, because of its repetitive nature. G Advertising uses its new offset commercial printing company, G Printing, to maintain cost effective distribution and oversee quality control of the final product. G Printing (www.printwithg.com) allows any company to quickly and simply order corporate collateral materials online that have been developed. 2008-08-22

Count Results, Not Hours : "Did you get it done?" is all that matters, Reports BusinessWeek in August 25th Edition   This summer, the future of the American workplace is being argued in—of all places—the halls of state government. Utah Governor Jon M. Huntsman Jr. mandated that most of his executive branch employees switch to a "compressed" workweek in an effort to save energy costs and reduce the state's carbon footprint. In Ohio, Governor Ted Strickland went in the opposite direction. Tired of state offices being empty on Fridays, he eliminated Ohio's decades-old flextime policy in the name of customer service. Both leaders are in a bind that is familiar to businesses everywhere. Brutal prices at the pump are driving up costs and intensifying angst over the environment. At the same time, consumer expectations about getting goods and services around the clock have also never been higher. Employees are demanding more freedom and control to keep up with life's busy pace, while employers struggle to compete in the global, 24/7 marketplace. Which governor got it right? Neither. 2008-08-21
