Jim Hlavac
For fifteen years or so I was in the advertising and trade show business along the Gulf Coast,
headquartered in Baton Rouge mostly, but also with offices in Florida and Houston, New Orleans and
West Palm Beach. By clicking on the links to the right you can see some of the highlights of my
career in this industry. It was sometimes great, at other times frustrating beyond belief. But
somehow I got to do a lot, and my name is all over the place in the region during the 1985 to 2000
time frame. I won an Addy Award, and I had articles written about me. I helped a lot of companies
become players. I sold a lot of advertising and trade show booths. I had a radio show. I went to a lot
of places, and explored the region far more than most natives. I met thousands of people and was
quite a junior level mucky muck. If anyone did any research on the business history of the region at
that time they could not help but to come across my name. Though why anyone would I can't be sure.
But there's enough material from my perspective for a dozens novels about the bizarre nature of the
modern world.
