members of the Birmingham
Bloomfield Chamber of Commerce.
"People find that funny:' Marcus said,
"but at the meetings, the members
come up to us, wanting to meet the
young guys wearing jeans."
Their clients seem to be happy. Dan
Fishman is a neighbor in the Integra
Building in Birmingham. Vice presi-
dent of Uptown Mortgage, he works
with Direct Media Concepts on a
monthly basis. DMC has designed a
new logo for his firm, is helping to
build two compa-
ny Web sites, and
has designed a
new brochure and
a direct mail mar-
keting piece that
will be mailed to
85,000 homes.
DMC has also
redesigned
Uptown's signs
and business
cards, to reflect the
company's expan-
sion into other
states.
"They're great
guys;' Fishman
said. "They are
first class and get
it done when they
say they'll get it
done. And their
prices are pretty
darn good — about one-third lower
than what we were paying. Of course,
they are new, so I hope the prices don't
change."
Jim Mdck is executive director of
Franklin Securities Bank's retail mort-
gage division in Southfield. With the
headquarters in Virginia, Mack is
happy to have someone local to help
him with new programs.
"I'm not a creative guy:' Mack said.
"They've helped us get launched with a
limited budget. Their stuff is on time,
clean, with fast input and good pric-
ing. And they give me flexibility with
my schedule!"
DMC has created a brochure for con-

,

sumers for Mack and employee infor-
mation sheets. "As we add new pro-
grams:' Mack said, "I've got somewhere
to go to get them launched!'
• With their success, Dalaly comment-
ed, "Everything has moved so fast. It's
unreal to me, but it's working."
Dalaly and Marcus have invested
their own money into the business and
have no loans. "Our families support us
100 percent:' says Marcus, "but it's not
their money"
Dalaly's father, who is Chaldean and
owns an import
business, has
taken a corner
office in the
Direct Media
Concepts suite.
That, and the
candy he provides
the employees, is
the total family
involvement in
the business. .
Dalaly's mother is
Jewish.
As far as profits
go, "we're able to
break even, and
then some, each
Month:' said
Dalaly.
The two entre-
preneurs have big
plans for the
future. They are
working on establishing their own line
of T-shirts to be sold on the Web; they
want to create a full clothing line; and
Marcus' dream is to open "a little cafe
one day — somewhere fun — where
we can go and hang out."
They hope a friend in Colorado, who
does their Web design work, will move
to Los Angeles this year and open a
full-service branch of the company.
All in all, it's been a busy time.
"Some things people need done a
month from now," said Marcus.
"Others, they need in six minutes. It's
not a normal life."
"But we love what we do:' said
Dalaly. H
