When Does All The Spending Stop?

Richard,

The last time I checked any self promotional literature or a website representing a service based company there was a client list. This is especially the case with advertising and marketing agencies. If you care to look at, for example, the website of any advertising agency you may, just may, if you're very lucky, catch a glimpse of some highly confidential, apparently protected by non disclosure agreement, top secret material. You know, the kind of stuff that is taking up all that airtime on TV, plastered all over those billboards, filling all that media space in magazines and newspapers.

Non disclosure agreements are mostly for things very different than you seem to imagine. Perhaps if I'd mentioned some confidential metrics, other such data or a controversial change in customer policy that could be quite sensitive and which we had been engaged to communicate to customers in some way, you might have a case. Of course only had we signed a non disclosure agreement to that effect. Bottom line - a non disclosure agreements covers the things contained therein. Nothing more. Nothing less.

I was not attempting to solicit business, or "moonlight," but simply to deflect what I took as rudeness, with an attitude which I admit was also wrong. Two wrongs don't make a right etc...

I spend some of my time here and on other business and marketing forums to share the few little bits and bobs I've picked up over the years and to learn from my friends and peers. I have to admit that the balance is tipped heavily in favour of the learning. As such, I fail to see how you can view my participation and interaction in this forum as anything other than what it clearly is. However, as owner of the business in question, amongst others, should it be something I'd like to do, I guess I can "moonlight" here or anywhere else I choose to.

How does telling us that "tomw" works for some company put anything at risk?
