Does Your Startup Have What It Takes? Find Out With Nicholson Kovac's "The Last Plan Standing"




Will your business become The Last Plan Standing?

From now until December 31st, entrepreneurs in Kansas City and beyond have the opportunity to compete for a once-in-a-lifetime integrated marketing communications campaign to launch their very own business. The event is “The Last Plan Standing” which is Nicholson Kovac’s way of helping entrepreneurs and businesses grow and prosper. By submitting a one-minute video, entrepreneurs will have a chance to explain why their new product or service is relevant and ingenious, and why Nicholson Kovac should deem it worthy as “The Last Plan Standing."

Nicholson Kovac, an integrated marketing communications company that is counted among the top independent advertising agencies in the country, is accepting “The Last Plan Standing” entries and videos at http://www.lastplanstanding.com/. At this site, you can find information about the contest including eligibility requirements, contest rules, and a place to upload and submit your business’s video.

On February 8, 2011, the top three contestants of “The Last Plan Standing” will be notified by Nicholson Kovac and a panel of business executives. These three finalists will then be flown to Kansas City to make half hour presentations of their business plans and why they should be “The Last Plan Standing”. Each presentation will be recorded and posted to the site so that the public has the chance to vote on a winner. These results will be combined with Nicholson Kovac’s staff and judges to select the winner of “The Last Plan Standing.” NK will announce the grand prize winner via a live webcast on February 28th and the business’s $100,000 marketing communications plan will be developed from March 1st until August 31st.
