Dear Laredo Group Friend,

 

The beginning of the end of the end has begun.  In September of 2008, the financial and business world as we knew it came to an end.  Business was dead...long live business.  And this new business world now seems to be hitting its stride.  The upfront is up, ad spending projections and forecasts are being raised worldwide...based on better-than-expected recent results...especially on the interactive side.  The Laredo Group is in a rather unique position to observe this industry resurgence...we see the training activities of both the sales and agency/marketer sides once again becoming very active.

 

For the first time since the recent end of the world, our seminars are once again packed or sold out!  We'll try to add more capacity as fast as we can, and apologize to any of you who may be caught without a needed seat...but, as they say, if you're going to have a problem at all, this is a good problem to have.  The good news is that there is once again good news.  I expect 2010 to be a better year than 2009 for all of us, and good year for many of us.  But I expect 2011 to be a great year for many and a very good year for almost all; with 2012 following as a spectacular year for many of us...as many new platforms, technologies and companies really begin to hit their full stride.

 

So stay tuned and stay trained...as always, we'll do our best to provide the courses you need to make sure you and all of your colleagues can get the very most out of the industry growth and developments to come over the next months and years.  So let us know what you need and let us know how we can help you.

 

Jeff Leibowitz, CEO
