DDA does a great job at interweaving the various internal departments with each other. The advertising copywriters, website designers, programmers, search engine optimization specialists, and graphic design artists all collaborate throughout the project(s) so as to make sure that each portion correctly fits into place and to not displace other portions of the project. Communication as well as collaboration are what this advertising company does well. In my opinion, this is why more prospects choose DDA over its competitors.

A relationship is a great thing to be in if it is a good one. A good relationship means being able to meet the other person’s or client’s needs in order to best serve the relationship. A relationship is only as strong as the people that comprise it. Business relationships typically lose strength as time and energy wears down. Here’s yet another example of the importance of time management. With all things considered, a strong business relationship is one where the seller actually cares about the buyers needs and/or concerns and truly sets out to satisfy those factors in order to have a solid, trust-based relationship.

I’m a strong believer in relationships and how they prosper, and I am especially interested in why business relationships fail. Learning from failures or studying situations that produce repetitive failures allows the smart businessperson to pattern what the causes of the failure were; and then apply them in future situations to avoid a lost relationship. Relationships between coworkers is also vitally important to the business.

Here at DDA, employees work extremely well with each other. There are no office politics, of which I am thankful. When people politicize within a business it can be disastrous to projects and simple tasks. DDA does not tolerate that sort of social behavior. At this advertising agency, client relationships as well as employee equality are among the top priorities; it truly is a pleasure to work here.

Everyone likes to eat food with a variety of tastes, sweetness, textures, and ingredients. For example, on Thanksgiving dinner, I like to have my turkey with gravy, mashed potatoes, corn, and greenbeans together, others do not. Dynamic Digital Advertising is strutured in a similar fashion, less the whole food thing. DDA is an advertising agency with numerous services and capablilities such as copywrighting, database programming, medical animation, video production, product photography, web design, and of-course search engine optimization services.

That’s what makes DDA such a great place to work with; DDA is a one-stop-shop full service advertising company, which will aid, assist, and commit to everything clients or prospects desires or needs. DDA is like a meal, it always works out better when you eat everything together.

It is hard for me to find the words or topic I would like to write about. Luckily for me I am not a copywriter here at DDA, nor do I fit the mold. That is what makes DDA such a great place to work! The fact that each person here possesses a talent or ability that is above average is truly amazing. Thankfully our coprwriters are gifted and have no problem when it comes to writing content for a brochure, website, trade show display, direct mail piece, etc. or perform any other task for which they are needed.

It is about that time these days isn’t it? You wake up and your day is arranged according to time and place. I’ve got to be here at this time and over there in a meeting by this time. What about time makes time so awesome? In my opinion, time is a limit or restriction, which forces an individual to meet the targeted time as pre-set within the individuals’ schedule or agenda. Time makes or breaks an individual’s ability as well as attitude. When a person can maintain a schedule adequately, that person feels good about themselves, leaving them with a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day…Lord knows we do not always have the privilege of time on our side.

That same schedule that restricts the length of time each activity or project will take, can work against an individual as well as their attitude. When one task on your agenda slips slightly over the restricted or pre-set time, and appropriate time management was not considered in the development of the schedule or unscheduled events occur, we run into the time chase! Time management is something our advertising company does extremely well. Time management is one of the crucial and and most expensive functions of a company’s success or failure. This is one of the main reasons advertising agencies have difficulty competing with DDA. Everything that is requested of our advertising services from conference calls to in-house meetings are all planned ahead to the proverbial “T”. 

Most advertising companies are overly conscientious about time management and being cost-effective. They run into problems because they over spend, and under deliver. More often then not, these companies make too many adjustments instead of letting their skilled web graphics designers use their talents as they were hired to do! Not letting talented individuals do what they do best is like asking an elephant to be deaf! It will not happen and the whole project will be adjusted to the point where the manager or supervisor of the project should have just performed the work themselves…sometimes you just got to let the skilled do their own thing, and provide them with the specs up front as opposed to during the work, which at this point begins to diminish the cost-effectiveness of the projects. This is one of the reasons that advertising companies tend to do lay-offs within the economy’s ups and downs…they are unable to maintain some level or average ground where productivity and cost-effectiveness meet. Therefore, the talent, money, and time are all wasted instead of nourished and it is always going to be about that time.

The new office has a lot more space than the previous location. Our advertising company needed more space for its operations to continue their growth. The photographers needed more space so, in our new office, they have almost two and half times the previous space to perform digital photography. Some different types of digital photography are, food photography,  product photography, and other photography services. The photography studio is shared with the videographers. Now these two can work concurrently and not bump elbows like in the previous location.

Our new office has plenty of space to grow and we are all excited to be here where all of us have more space and equipment to work with!

A hobby that I always wanted to get involved in was digital photography. I have always been very appreciative and observant when it comes to nature and natural landscapes. I do not have any interest in performing photography services, just strictly as a hobby. Unfortunately, I barely have time to work out, fish, or even hunt these days! Photography is in my very distant future, perhaps when I retire I will be able to enjoy nature as God intended.

Advertising and elections go hand-in-hand. Over the weekend, I was trying to figure out who I would vote for in the Presidential election for 2008 and I finally decided I would vote for the only man who has a plan and seeks to bring back the country to its founding origin. The man I am referring to is Congressman Ron Paul from Texas who stands for constitutionalism and for the rights of all people.

Some of you reading my blog might ask yourselves why you have never heard of Ron Paul or if you have and liked his beliefs, are wondering what happened to Ron Paul. Ron Paul had, in my opinion, hired a marketing company which did not do their job as other more competent advertising companies could have done. The media was basically blacking him out because he stood against some of the biggest branches in government, which he perceives as a threat to American citizen sovereignty.

Some of his ideas were to rid the United States of the Federal Reserve System, which most Americans do not understand the way with which it operates, nor do they understand how it influences the market.

Most voters vote on what people say, not on what they find… Just last Wednesday for example, Senator Obama, whom many have recently been swindled into believing he actually stands for change, (but never gives a publicly laid-out plan), had some news come out that he had been accepting donations from Lobbyists and other corporate powers. The irony here is that the very next day, I was eating dinner and an Obama advertisement came on claiming he does not accept money from Lobbyists! I was rolling on the floor laughing because of the prior days’ news about the lobbysists’ donations and the fact that most Americans would still have NO clue that he basically ran a False Advertisement and that he is getting away with it!

Ron Paul has been cheated out of the election for Presidency for 2008, but most people will say that’s a conspiracy; yea well go search it online, the reports are there. Just because you do not hear about it on Fox, CNN, or C-span, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen!

Ron Paul could have won this election had he hired an advertising agency that was more capable of handling such an immense responsibility.

I’m going to vote for Ron Paul as his name is still going to be on the ballot; rather have my vote go to a good man instead of one of the other three stooges.

I am glad to be back in the office today! It’s another beautiful day in a great work environment!

Yesterday, I had classes in the morning and then a one-on-one with my mathematics teacher, who has helped me significantly this semester. Though setting up a meeting with my teacher seems to be a simple task, it requires a few skills I have learned from working at DDA. I have learned that setting up meetings and having patience are crucial to maintaining a long-term client base. I have also learned that when providing search engine optimization services, most clients seem to expect results yesterday, even though when the signed up, they were specifically told that it’s a long-term approach to Internet marketing and positioning their website.

Working at an advertising agency such as DDA, I have learned a lot about the business world and that is something no one could ever take away nor fade away.

Going out to the car this morning was a wake-up call in itself. This past weekend was amazing! The temperatures were that of early summer and you couldn’t ask for any better weather.

Now its Monday and freezing again, it makes you wonder what season it truly is! Regardless, its another great day to be alive and working, especially for a top notch advertising agency such as DDA.
