We are about to launch a new Local Advertising product that, if received well, really will change the way local advertising is sold and measured across the country (At least for 22 or so industries we will launch for by end of year 2.)
However, because it is so new in so many ways, I expect many ad industry professionals will want to derail it and poke holes in it before we are given a chance to prove our model.
That's where you come in. Please nail us first. Review our ideas and value proposition here and be as critical or complimentary as deserved. I want to be as bullet-proof as possible at launch.
The actual site is NOT AVAILABE to view yet. However, I have included 2 links below that will allow you to browse a mock site that will certainly describe what we do well enough for comment on the concept and methods we are offering.

Sr. VP TeleDirect and InstantExpert Advertising
