For local B2B businesses who want attention from both SMBs and larger corporations located in The Woodlands and greater Houston area, it's a much needed resource whose time has come." Carrese adds, "We're here to help the small to mid-size business owner and ad buyer. Businesses will find better ways to reach customers while coordinating a balanced media mix. We've also started a Networking Organization to bring together business owners, entrepreneurs, ad buyers, advertising and marketing professionals so that they can network and stay on top of industry trends, educate, inspire and motivate each other as we all face this challenging economy." Carrese describes goals for ad buyers, adding, "We've got training programs such as webinars planned for 2009, with the mission being to help ad buyers and business owners on making more educated buying decisions, and to help them keep up on changes in the industry that will help them to better grow their businesses."
