produced a watershed change in the financial services industry.

the change, dealt with the reversals we had experienced,
and increased both market share and profitability. Morris
counseled us on developing our strategic position and re-designed
the product lines to help us attain our tactical and strategic
goals. Was it successful? We obliterated competition, executed
a well planned identity program, increased our market presence,
reversed the loss in market share and had truly astounding
gains in revenue and profit. And in the process, we even
won some awards for the advertising he directed. |

easy to understand. Morris is not afraid to give you the

Morris helped demonstrate to senior management that there
was confusion in the marketplace over our product, allowing
us to directly target misconception through our TV, radio

to increase awareness! We appreciated their close personal
service with meticulous attention to details. We were made
to feel like we were the Ruddick Int'l Group's only client. |
