Companies are reducing headcount, and losing expertise in the process. In parallel, industry associations are paring down their staffs and consultants from those places are also going by the wayside.

In the printing industry, a group of seasoned business executives and technical people have come together to form a consortium called the Graphic Communication Advisors. These are experts in the printing, graphic arts, prepress and publishing fields who are on call and can be brought in by companies to help them. The consulting service includes sales and business development help, mechanical reviews, process improvements and much more. Crossmedia451 is a part of this group and can offer services for sales growth, business development, social media, e-commerce and more.
