Media Relations 101 - How to Get Coverage
Ever wonder why someone else's business gets a story in the paper or on the news... and you don't?
Being profiled in the media for the good work you do is worth more to you (and costs less) than taking out an ad. Find out what newsrooms are looking for in deciding whether your business has a story worth covering. Learn how to get on or sometimes off the front page.

The RFP Is Out - QBS Is In. Is Your Organization Ready?
Make better selections and avoid the legal liabilities that can occur when engaging architects, engineers, management consultants, ad agencies and other professional services firms. 
The best way to do this is to shift from a price based Request for Proposal (RFP) process to a Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS) process. The differences are subtle and substantial.
Find out how and why the QBS selection process is mandated in the U.S. by law and why QBS processes should be extended into Canada and also include the hiring of ad agencies, management consulting firms, law firms, market research firms and all other professional services.
