I need your professional help!?

I was recently hired to be the Vice President of Marketing and Products for a non profit organization. This job is not slated to start for at least two months as the building is not completed. In the meantime, my boss would like me to demonstrate my skills by proposing a sales campaign for a cellphone company he is starting on the side. He is aware that this is my first job in this field but I am feeling considerable pressure to impress him. The premis is a cellular dealer who does not require an age limit, deposit or stellar credit. Do you have any great slogans or advertising gems to share? My career is riding on this! Thanks!

Update:

ps: Skarma....why do you bother? This is the ANSWERS section.

    Hi Daisy,

    I don't know how old you are but if you let your boss intimidate you this early in the game you are going to be one very unhappy person. Not to mention it looks as if he wants something for nothing and his request has nothing to do with the job you hired on for.

    I assume he was impressed with you and/or your resume to hire you in the first place. My advice is to run as fast as you can from this guy and find a new job. Who knows what else he's going to ask you to do on the side.

    SIncerely,

    Val

    PS. Your boss may want to check the federal guidelines for selling to minors without parents consent. No matter what he wants to offer, someone of legal age is responsible and I'm sure not to many parents want to pay a cell bill that they knew nothing about.

    Nope. You're a big adult now in an adult world... you decide what the slogan should be. Plus we could sue you if you took our idea.
