BEST BETS
Two-hundred billion dollars was spent on American advertising this year — was 90 percent of it wasted?

Weyland, a former on-air personality in Texas who later became an entrepreneur and media sales expert, will speak on increasing advertising revenues through creative education, and the reasons advertising doesn't always work.
