Question
Pete -

Thank you for your time. Perhaps my husband, Peter, would have a question for you if he should end up going into business for himself. There isn't anything out here, so far. The Wolf Agency you mentioned went out of business awhile ago. At Peter's level, no one is hiring at this time, so far. After 2o yrs. at the same ad agency here, he was approached by a recruiter to go elsewhere.  Peter's turned down so many offers over the years and finally decided for higher earning salary to take the plunge and go client side.  He loved his new job. Long story.  Anyway, thank you.  I don't think there is anything else you can do. Thanks for your time.  

P.s  We are origionally from Buffalo.  My husband has family who has a cottage in Long Beach (Willow Bay?) in Canada.  Also, I took my boys to see Barenaked Ladies in Guelth last summer.

Answer
Hi Kathy,

The automated all experts machine stated that I didn't  answer this reply, so I will do it to stay in the good books as I see by your reply that there was little need to. I am a bit surpised that Wolf is listed as out of business. They were a large agency.

Try <www.liggett.com>, or <www.adcom1.com>, and <www.resource.com> which is in Columbus. ( I have know idea how far that is away from Cleveland.

I wish you husband wanted to join a small shop in tiny town Canada that is looking to grow and be retained by larger clients. We were a very small shop only a year ago and now grown to be a small shop ; ). Best of luck.

If Peter wishes to speak with Peter, have him email me direct through <promote@limelight.org> If nothing else, at least he will have a voice to bounce a new business idea off of.
