New Book for Executives:   A new book is in the works for business people.  Working title:  "The Power of Internal Branding" 
     A subtopic is: "Selection, Care and Feeding for Creative people."
Internal branding and marketing is quite different than external efforts. The audience and topic have distinct differences and of course some commonalities.   Topics will include internal communications, methods to reach the internal audience effectively, with a message that hits home.  Executive presentations, the great, good, bad and ugly are addressed with real case studies.  Practical tips for selecting creative sources, when to go external vs internal, and how to buy and keep the best creative people, and how to spot the ones best avoided.  
     As a former CEO and creative strategic advisor to fortune 500 top level executives, Ashman brings practical and proven techniques for executives at all levels and specialities. Marketing, accounting, manufacturing, service, sales; how to do it better with positive results for the organization and individual careers is the theme.  Target release Fall 2023

​James Alberger Award Winning Acclaimed VO and Audio Designer & Author
...this book is a fast-track to understanding how to take your business to an entirely new level.  

"Advocate for the Audience" is one of those rare books that literally has "gold" on every page. Fred Ashman has taken a lifetime of insider information, tips, and production tricks, and compiled it all into a series of stories that are not only entertaining, but also teach exactly what is necessary to be successful as a creative entrepreneur.  


Rolland Smith is former news anchor for WCBS-TV New York and WWOR-TV New York, co-host of “The CBS Morning Program,” and in Washington, DC, as White House and Capitol Hill correspondent.
Every once in a while, an instructive text comes along to help the student, and the professional navigate the pits and falls of cinematic production and video presentations. Fred Ashman's "Advocate For The Audience" is not only instructive; it is inspirational.
