This is a little job I did for Allen Forkum's "Automotive Report", trying to get the idea of "more advertising is good" across to his automotive industry costumers.

GarandFan:

Having been to biz school many moons ago, you've hit the nail on the head as far as management goes when they 'cost cut'.

Tom Wms.:

Great job, John. But then, I am a little prejudiced.

Terwiliger:

I agree with GARANDFAN's observation regarding cost cutting.

However, the cartoon has more of a quality management (TQM for you bidness skrool types) kind of vibe than a marketing/advertising feel.

It's a well-crafted slogan that pulls it all together (& don't get me wrong--that's a very good 'toon as well).

Selling advertising, I'd be playing up a visibility-versus-lack-of-visibility thing (use of camo or maybe a dufus with a poorly folded map)...something that communicates, "If they can't find you, the point is moot."

Terwiliger:

STUPID ME...

With my dinky screen, I didn't see the "ADVERTISING" bar on the manifold cover until after I hit the "Post" button.

Strike that previous comment.

Mea culpa.
