Advertising fails when you lack the right idea, strategy and campaign.

On this week's Monday Morning Radio, Mike drops by the radio studio to explain to David and Dean Rotbart how he and his fellow Wizard of Ads partners consistently help their small business clients grow using savvy advertising and marketing.
