Laura Briere’s Summary

I started Vision Advertising in 1999 (then known as Fresh Design) with the goal of creating a marketing services company that would focus on the big picture needs of the clients. Over the years, the company has seen considerable evolution and still continues to grow with the regular addition of new clients and new team members. Heading towards it's 10th year, Vision Advertising have a team of 9 and very healthy book of business. I intend for this company to have a team of 20 within the next 5 years and a diverse clientèle that encompasses many more industries than we currently serve.

With regard to the World Green Business Association, in 2006, I had the idea that my marketing and business acumen could be put to best use with the biggest client of all: earth. I've always been a bit of a tree-hugger in my own right, and after learning about how we're heading for certain disaster because of our own doing, I sought to find a way to use my gifts for the greater good, and the WGBA was born in late 2007. By the end of 2009, my goal for this organization is to have it state-wide, nationwide by the end of 2015, and worldwide by the end of 2022.
