What Happens in Vegas – Keeps TLC Up All Night

10|03|23

When Buck Monson’s TruckShop411 began formulating a Master Plan for a North American Diesel Repair Shop alliance, they asked me for 1. A Logo and 2. Audio /Video marketing tools. Members need custom jingles, radio, TV, and creative concepts. 2 years pass…

Buck did NOT tell me that at 10:30 PM on Monday, he was breaking big at SEMA in Las Vegas the next day and that he would need a cool handout (2 pages front and back, from scratch) for attendees he would know, like …. now. NOTE: He knew everyone, and they loved his concept.

OK, one day later, he’s ready to get it printed in Vegas, handed out in Vegas, and me sleeping two days straight in Iowa. Need a cool flyer even if you wait until the last minute? Now you know a guy…Make that a real dumb guy…sort of a savant. We do accept your project with a bit more brain time, too.

Check out the new logo and flyer!

Country Club Coffee Warms Up to TLC

01|01|22

Our new client, Country Club Coffee, fell out of the sky. I was trying to find someone to fix my Breville Barista Express. Drake Bishop is so busy, he couldn’t help me. But he liked what I do for On Hold programs. As a Mocha Man, I couldn’t resist writing sample creative even before we had a deal. Cut to the chase: This became an obsession as I whipped out complete productions for each aspect of CCC’s diverse services. Here’s what Drake said about TLC’s on hold show: “It’s not good. It’s magnificent!” Listen to all or part of the 8-minute show. Tell us if you agree with Drake. Please?

After just 3 weeks on the phone, here’s what customers are saying: “How we have finally grown-up” / “That voice is familiar…” / “Put me back on hold, that was amazing” / “I never knew you sold that too”
