Reason: As a newcomer to Wikipedia, I didn't realize that the use of a company name as a user name was prohibited. I started MediaMark Intl as an LLC a little over 1yr ago without knowing yet how I wanted to use it. It is nothing more than a shell of a company at the moment with no foreseeable plan in the immediate future. While browsing Wikipedia earlier today, I thought a good idea would possibly be to use it for education purposes in the meantime, educating other people about the advertising, marketing, and media industry where possible. After reading through the wiki policies further just now, I have a much greater understanding of the parameters with which I can work so hopefully it is smoother sailing moving forward. Thanks again for the patience and help here from the start as I try my best with learning the Wikiway. I hope to be a tremendous asset for those seeking facts around marketing, media, and advertising through Wikipedia in the near future. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there is anything else you find needs adjustments and I'll be happy to make.
