How to stand-out in
the crowd
The biz dev team is meeting to deal with
this problem--their marketing campaign is
not working. They’ve been doing listings in
“traditional” directories. With just two
hundred words or less, it doesn’t allow the
agency to engage visitors and showcase
their innovation. They need more than a
glorified telephone book listing. The
question is: How can Innovative Design
stand out in the crowd?

4. The search is on for an innovative new way to
get business-building leads...Where?
Answer: .BIZ Marketplace

1. To find a great venue to showcase our business portfolio
2. Build new business through “lead generation”
