Tampa. FL (PRWEB) September 10, 2014 -- When the staff at MCAads.com-Russell Johns (http://russelljohns.com) gets together, there’s just as much a chance the meeting is about Ping Pong as there is that it’s about Time Management. That’s because CEO Blaire Fanning believes what Dale Carnegie once observed: “People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.”
Fanning is co-founder of MCAads.com (http://www.mcaads.com), a full-service agency that itself is part of an awarding-winning, decades-old media group made up of My Classified Ads, Print & Radio, Media Mix Power and Blaire.co.
Earlier this year, MCA took over took over Russell Johns, whose client list included USA Today, American Family Physician and the National Enquirer as well as the Virginia-based Weider History Group, the world's largest publisher of history magazines.
“We have diverse media marketing experience and understand how to reach specific professional niches and industries,” Fanning says of MCA-RJ. “Our comprehensive approach allows clients direct access to the top-performing marketing venues at the lowest cost.”
After weeks of jostling back and forth between MCA and RJA offices, Fanning ultimately fused the two nationally known firms, consolidated their separate operations and moved to a state-of-the-art facility at 5020 W. Linebaugh Ave., Suite 210, in Tampa. That was phase one of the “click and brick” strategy; phase two, recently completed, was upgrading the Web presence of both brands.
All the while, Fanning was cultivating a broader, deeper, long-term strategy—and that was to hire talented individuals and transform them into a team of savvy professionals steeped in customer service and product knowledge.
One of Fanning’s secret weapons has been Rob Zarilli, a veteran trainer and motivational speaker. Zarilli, whose voice reverberates authoritatively like former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo, doesn’t just train using slideshows and laser pens. He’s developed a reputation as an exceptional storyteller with a personable style and an inviting smile.
The MCAads.com-Russell Johns staff has bought into the Fanning-Zarilli “Healthy, Wealthy and Wise” approach, with its mix of industrial strength training implemented in a relaxed and nurturing environment. The result: MCA-RJ’ers take on a barrage of challenges by creating teams with names like “Bingo Flamingos,” “Dream Builders” and the “Get It Girls.”
As Super Bowl quarterback Joe Namath once noted, “When you have confidence, you can have a lot of fun. And when you have fun, you can do amazing things.”
And the staffers at MCA-RJ definitely plan to do “amazing things”—while having a barrel full of fun along the way.
