About Creative Overload…
Creative Overload began in 1994 as a collaboration with my wife Hope, as a home-based network that focused on marketing and promoting the services of a network of independent writers, graphic artists, photographers, and PR specialists. During the early years, nearly 50 specialists joined the Creative Overload family. Over time thousands of projects – annual reports, marketing brochures, media kits, and specialty graphics projects – were all completed by members of the Creative Overload network.
As early adopters of technology we also quickly realized that substantial technical support would be needed. Due to the constant dynamic nature of technology innovations and other market factors, our nascent business effort gradually phased into providing a more specialized IT-centric focus for our clients.
Key business decisions surrounding network security, business growth, project management, and client outreach all require that key stakeholders have a firm grasp of technology concepts and best practices. Failure to attain an understanding of the dynamic technology marketplace often translated into project failure, budget over run, or substantial loss of revenue.
Creative Overload serves the small business and home office user by providing product reviews in an easy to understand format. Tutorials, and how-to guides will focus on ease of use and simplification of terms. No-cost resources will be dedicated to smoothing technical operations and enhancing a business workload.
