All Ships Rise on a Rising Tide

There is nothing like the power of new business in this business. Everyone talks about the long hours and stress of this job, but when you put a big piece of new business in front of them they make them longer and have a great time at midnight putting together the pitch. That's what happened around here. In early September Van Winkle & Associates, put together two nice wins with CLA financial and Delta TechOps. Both were traditional pitch offs and we beat some talented agencies. I have to say we deserve this business. Each new client is perfect for the agency and will benefit from our experience with similar clients and consumer base.

It's great to see everyone throw in their part of the effort. I couldn't be more proud of the people around me that made this happen. The best part is that these accounts will allow us to put more back in the business and continue to improve our services for all of our accounts.

The only thing that has suffered is the blog and now I continue the effort. And oh yea, the headache from the champagne.
