I have been in the journalism and news reporting business for over 40 years as well as media advertising. My blog is about some of the media companies that I have dealt with or have first hand knowledge about through clients and past experiences.

ADCO MEDIA - (or another name they change to Dyson, Dison)
STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY at all costs!!!
From - Encino CA
I have heard of them. they have a four part program with TV commercials that never play. I had someone actually call the cable provider that they said the commercials were supposed to be played on and they never had heard of the company at all.
Another company copied their program, which the program was not the problem, it was the execution. or shall I say non-execution that Dyson or Adco had a knack for.
The program had print, TV, some getaway giveaway, and internet. The company was LifestyleZ USA. They actually executed everything in the program and it worked for customers. As always when something is good one of the big boys buy it up and ruin it. They were bought out by a company in 2010, which I will leave nameless, and it went to pot.
You are correct. I never finished this post. They have the 4 part program that never gets executed. They take your money and simply ignore you. This is the same story I have heard over 21 times from various company (local small mom-pop/0 that have been taken by these people. I believe there isa class action suit against them. I will keep you all posted.
Here you go - ( I will post all of the comments I ave about this business as well - they are all terrible. I have not heard a single good comment.)
Most every company I checked with had not seen their publication or TV commercial. This ADCO seemed to take their money and run. They would get an occasional answer from time to time promising them it's right around the corner with another excuse, and every week, nothing. This sums up the 50 or so comments I have heard about these people.
FINAL THOUGHT: Stay away at all costs!!! Complete rip off
PRICE RANGE: $500 (if your salesman does this manager drop dance with you) Min-$1300 - Max $2200 per 6 months
ADCO MEDIA - THE VERY BAD! The worst actually. At least if you use noneffective advertising blind squirrel can find it once and a while. If you do not do anything for the advertisers dollar, that is just a scam.
They retooled themselves. They are called Dyson Media and it is owned by the same guy Jack Brown. If you look on the BBB under Dyson it has a giant red flag warning saying this company is owned by Jack Brown associated with an extremely dis-favorable company called ADCO.
Same crap different stink. It's the same program and they jazzed it up a bit with promise of unverifiable Google ads.
