STOP! READ THIS BEFORE ACCEPTING ANY ADVERTISING OFFERS. Before you spend any money on advertising your business, and get swamped by all the different offers and opportunities that are out there, give me a call. I could save you a lot of money

My name is Richard Knight and I have 22 years experience in booking advertising campaigns and still currently run my own advertising agency based in Hook, Hampshire. I might be able to save you some money and also give my advice and suggestions as to what I think would work for you. Advertising is all about creating a message to match the media, and targeting your clients. There are so many opportunities out there now and a great number that will give you a very targetted response.

Especially with the current economic climate, it is more important than ever before to be able to monitor a response from your advertising and I can help you. By offering "offer led" campaigns this is one sure way of being able to do this.

I will offer two hours of my time including an initial meeting for FREE (offer available to all SYOB readers and subscribers), and then if you still want to keep my services, we can discuss how we work together on a weekly or monthly basis. Sometimes just having someone to talk to who has no direct involvement in your business is good for us all.

Please give me a call. I look forward to hearing from you
