I'm writing my business goals down: To create a viable advertising/marketing/strategy agency that next me $150k a year within 3 years. $50k in the first year. $100k in the second year. Within 5 years the firm will be worth over $2 million. I will also leverage what I do with this agency in order to build equity – part of my project portfolio will involve taking ownership in anything I feel has promise. I will do WHATEVER it takes to generate business. Network, kiss ass, promote shamelessly (but with class). I will NOT represent clients whom I disagree with moral or socially. I will follow every significant trend: technology, science, geography, financial. My vision will span across borders and platforms. I will be, if not an early adopter, an early-identifier.

*spills coffee on your notepad*

All you have so far are some numbers and hope and luck won't get you there ...

ok what are some major trends that are building up momentum as we speak that are not already getting overexposure in the media: ie green revolution, mobile computing, etc

wait not mobile computing more like mobile everything.

I don't mean this in a broad sense "Hey let's have a twitter feed for your business!" I mean using all these different potentialities - little aspects of all these new technologies/trends/platforms and places - to created integrated campaigns that build sustainable advantage. I will pitch every single economic 'entity' I can find globally and outline my vision to them. By economic entity, I mean any organization that has a budget and a mission and a need.

Not really. You do everything at once and in a self reinforcing way: product messaging, advertising, PR, design, interactive, etc. Hardly jargon. This is how companies and products launch.

ook but what kind of mrking? u mean murkating? murky marketing that is the rage today? or will rely heavily on traditional obvious mkting? i think u need to know the trends in that repsect, how the attitudes of gen y and beyond are towards the current state of advertising

I am going to partner up with a really talented director/film editor. So now I can pitch anyone on projects - web films, intro videos for exec speeches, intro videos for website sections... anything. I am a copywriter and a biz dev guy. I will pitch ANY entity on ANY project ANYWHERE around the globe. If it's a bunch of shitty little $xk projects to start, so be it. For example, take a big investment firm. They have a library of research on their sites. They need a little promo video to play at the beginning of every piece - think of the Hulu little thing that pops up. BOOM! $xk.

Now's the time to start. Tell small businesses that cutting advertising budgets in these stormy financial times isn't wise because businesses that DON'T advertise during adversity don't survive
