NOTE: The ad designer should be familiar with advertising for investment advisory firms and associated SEC rules and regulations. Please note that before the ad can be accepted, I will have to have it reviewed by my compliance consultant who may suggest changes. The designer would then have to make these changes. This ad is for a print newspaper. Ad size is 3.25" x 2" (length by height)- fairly small. However, this is all that the new firm's budget allows. The ad can be color, if color is helpful, or expressive black and white. The ad should incorporate the attached logo, provided in SVG format; if the logo needs to be adjusted somewhat, please feel free but the logo should not differ greatly from the original. Size of the logo does not matter much but it should be easily readable. Ideally, a file would arrive in an editable format(s), where I would later be able to add or change a few lines of text. The message... I'd like to appeal especially to women but also men. My primary audience is the population of North Dakota. These guys and gals are farmers, oilfield workers, restauranteurs, small business owners and healthcare professionals. What I offer can be found on my website but beyond providing that information, I do not want to constrain the ad designer. I'd like to convince people to invest their money with my firm, be it extra cash they have laying around, moving 401k from their old job to a rollover IRA with my firm or small business owners opening retirement accounts with me for themselves and/or their employees. It would be cool to have a graphic or a text heading that catches attention... Also contact information should be included; it is available on the above website. Any questions? Just ask! ------------------------------------------ Added 7 FEB 2012, 21:37 PM EST Just to clarify: this project calls for YOU, the ad creator, to come up with the text for the advertisement. You would be required to read, understand and use the information on my website : to create the text for the ad. I supply only the logo; you supply everything else.
