The year was 1997. The economy was humming. The stock market was still rationally exuberant. The Indians were about to play in the World Series. Things were good. But then they got better. A talented young marketing maven was just setting out on his own. He had a twinkle in his eye, a few borrowed office supplies and a kitchen table.

From the start, his new agency of one caught on. He quickly added clients, purchased equipment and discovered the joys of paying quarterly taxes. Eventually the economy changed its tune, rational exuberance turned irrational and the Indians came up short.

And yet through it all, it's been a fantastic period of expansion and opportunity, as well as a tremendous learning experience. In that time, The Right Word and Brad Hauber have:

• Developed marketing communications for local, regional and national clients, ranging from Fortune 500 companies to lone entrepreneurs.
  
  
• Added new corporate and consumer clients across a variety of industries, including information technology, financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, paints and coatings, and entertainment.
  
  
• Enhanced my skills by managing and/or supporting a variety of new advertising, marketing and public relations projects. These have included developing print and broadcast advertising, direct mail campaigns, sell sheets, brochures, case studies, press releases, telephone sales scripts, Web content, video scripts and more.
  
  
• Established relationships with a stable of talented designers, photographers and other vendors to provide comprehensive, affordable services.
