SUBJECT: Roanoke Branch Update

The Roanoke branch of Phoenix Advertising has some of our most valuable clients and it is our duty as an executive team to gather particular pieces of information to help resolve the conflicts and miscommunications among employees. As account vice president, I request Charlene Daniels to research and compile a report of all the new clients the Roanoke branch has taken on to determine their value and if they are creating extra revenue. I request Richard Smith, vice president of media planning, to gather a report on all the new accounts that have recently been acquired and provide a time frame of each account individually to determine if increased labor is really needed to complete them.
