I never stated that a Marketing/PR firm are required, I stated we dont currently have one because either Zimmerman quit, or were let go. Surely it must be one of those two:-D (I think they quit)
The fact that OPMG hired the ZIMMERMAN Agency, and was the subject of many many posts praising the company for hiring such a prestigious firm to represent the PhoneGuard brand...The company chose them out of thousands of agencies, and obviously felt the need for their product to be professionally marketed, but now we have NO marketing firm :-(
at least to me it is very disturbing that right before the "National Day of Awareness Against Texting and Driving" which OPMG is a sponsor, we dont have "professionals" marketing the brand....But sure, we can probably have somebody making minimum wage printing out brochures in one of OPMG's back offices and handing them out at local events like flea markets to raise awareness. But somehow I think to investors that own millions of shares, they would WANT a "Professional Marketing/PR firm" guaranteeing them a return on their investment by sucessfully marketing the PhoneGuard brand and making OPMG a household name. But maybe you are right, they should just get some kid to spit out brochures on an inkjet printer, and save a few bucks,......*sigh*
Since when is there some sort of Marketing 101 statement that all small companies, especially OTC like OPMG need to hire a large marketing/PR firm in order to be successful. If you have ever run a small business you know that much of the marketing and pr materials are done inhouse. It would be responsible for OPMG management to cut costs where it makes sense. I don't know if you have heard, but many companies have computers inhouse that allow for publicatons, brochures, and graphics.
A Good Marketing Firm would help get this puppy "LAUNCHED" I Bet...
