Hey, Dan,

Thanks for a thoughtful post and the time it took to write it. First, I worded my request poorly - I'm not looking for an inexpensive rep, just an inexpensive way to find one! In other words, too cheap to place an ad.

I've been in business for myself for 20 years and am pretty much at the top of the heap with lots of awards and a fantastic list of past and current clients. And I agree with all you said!

Personally I'm not attracted to calling on agencies or even working with them that much, as that is a low percentage game -- you have to keep reselling yourself project after project; not much loyalty. Once or twice in my 20 years I've run across guys who thought they could put together a group of non-competitive creatives to rep to corporate prospects (art director/designer, print writer, film/video director, print shop, etc., etc.). Hoped there might be a few out there.

I've been too busy for a decade to do much marketing or need any marketing, but this recession has finally caught up with me, and I do HATE doing the marketing thing.!

Guess we didn't accomplish anything through this conversation, but I just joined this forum and it's nice to commiserate.

Best to you!

Dave
