Marketing Strategies, Inc. has been chosen as the host agency for the 2008 Business Development Conference of the Marketing and Communications Agency Network, (MCAN).

The event, planned for January 2008, will be held at the Marriott Grande Dunes and will attract Agency principals from throughout the United States and Canada.

Founded in 1983 by Herbert Fritsche, The Marketing Communications Agency Network (MCAN) was organized as a vehicle for the exchange of management information and mutual assistance involving various aspects of agency/client relationships and growth. MCAN is comprised of non-competitive, independently owned, medium sized advertising agencies with up to $10 million in annual billings.

MCAN members are invited into the elite business organization in an effort to assist in strengthening their competitive position in the marketing and advertising industries. It provides firms and agencies in “non-competitive” markets a forum to exchange advice, counseling and valuable industry information.

“It is an honor to host this group,” said Denise Blackburn, APR, President of Marketing Strategies, Inc. “Our goal is to show them the best Myrtle Beach has to offer—food, entertainment, the works—in just three short days!”
