Founder and Account Director of BlackChilli, Barry is the driving force and creative energy behind the company. Barry is a visionary, business generator, networking king and would, according to his peers 'turn up at the opening of an envelope'! Barry has over 25 years’ experience in the industry, is a member of The Institute of Public Relations and regular freelance contributor to a host of business titles. A client once summed Barry up by calling him Mr. Marmite, saying “You will either love him or hate him, but you can't ignore him" – he’s the Simon Cowell of the PR industry, brutally honest and saying it like it is.

Rule 6 - Advertising Must Pay

If you are spending money on advertising
and you are convinced that continuing to spend money on advertising is the right strategy, then give your old campaign a makeover. Replacing the old ad image with one that's designed to produce bottom-line results and has a strong call to action is a must. I bet your current message is too wishy-washy. Get tough – you need business and you need it now. Create strong messages designed to attract customers. Track the results of your marketing efforts by placing response codes in all your ads and lead-generation tools. The adverts in media that don’t get results get the chop, whilst the ones that do work, you must continue with.
