Robert M Worth, Jr’s Summary
I manage two businesses that do several processes. 1) Branding and all the nuances that go with it (Sunset Promotions, Inc.) I assist companies with their branding efforts on the Internet. 2) A retail web business which sells widgets through a variety of means (Partner Stores, Inc.). 3) Representation for a number of photographers who have great photography and want it marketed and promoted and 4) Event photography. Photography part is a compilation of needs by the other two corporations.
After a number of years in profit, non-profit, Fortune 500, 100, and 50 companies, I have mastered contract law, public speaking, built bridges between differing organizational groups, photography, inventory management, and people skills.
My portfolio includes several thousand copyrights for photography and writings and a few trademarks/service marks. Plus, I'm a published photographer in a New York Times Best Seller hard back.
I have lofty goals of which I generally master most from time to time. One goal is constantly elusive and that is to be the best I can be - it is an ongoing process learning new techniques and technology enhancements.
Robert M Worth, Jr’s Specialties:
Commercial and private photography; public speaking; writing and editing; relationship management; corporate branding & identity; inventory management & planning; web site design, planning, implementation, and Internet consulting in design and advertising techniques.
