Free AI Education · From New Tech Advertising
Understand AI. Use it in the real world.
Work with AI without changing how you work. Practical AI education helps you understand what AI can do, where it fits, and how to use it in a real business.
Start with a free lesson. When you want to talk it through, meet the Free AI Guy inside the experience. When a human conversation would help, Talk to My Office™.
The education is free. Tools, implementation, and ongoing services may have a cost—but you will always know what you are choosing and why.

Does this sound familiar?
Growth gets harder when the pieces do not work together.
Most local businesses do not need more tools. They need clearer priorities, stronger follow-up, and a practical system that connects what they already have.
Your marketing feels disconnected
Your website, social media, customer information, advertising, and follow-up may all exist, but they are not working together as one clear system.
It is hard to know what matters first
There are too many tools, too many promises, and too many possible directions. You need a practical order of operations, not another pile of ideas.
Good opportunities fall through the cracks
When follow-up depends on memory, scattered notes, or extra time you do not have, potential customers can disappear before a relationship begins.

6 five-star reviews from real business owners in North Iowa.
"I cannot say enough good things about New Tech Advertising and owner Rick Hesse. From the very first conversation, Rick demonstrated a level of professionalism, creativity, and commitment to customer service that is hard to find today. Rick doesn't just sell advertising—he takes the time to understand your business, your goals, and your vision. His marketing strategies are innovative, effective, and tailored to deliver real results. Every project we've worked on has been handled with attention to detail, excellent communication, and a genuine desire to help our business succeed. What impresses me most is Rick's integrity. He does exactly what he says he's going to do, follows through on his commitments, and treats his clients like partners rather than customers. That's a rare quality in any industry. If you're looking for an advertising company that truly cares about helping your business grow, I highly recommend New Tech Advertising. Rick Hesse has earned my trust, my respect, and my continued business. Five stars all the way. Highly recommended!"

"I have worked with Rick for many years now and have come to depend on his expertise in the field of social media marketing and web site development. Rick is a very unselfish person and has also taught me a lot about how to manage my own web site so I am not paying thousands of dollars to have someone else do it. Rick could keep this knowledge to himself and his guidance would be worth every penny. I enjoy working with him because he cares first about the client and helping them understand how things work if that's what they want to know. I would recommend Rick for anyone wanting to grow their social media footprint and develop an effective web site."
Peter Gardner
"I've known and worked with Rick Hesse for nearly 25 years. Why I continue to work with him is that he always stays current with online digital marketing trends. He often comes to me to let me know of the latest Google or Facebook changes and how he plans to keep my business current. I appreciate his knowledge and expertise in web design, social media management and video production to provide content and support where my business needs it most, freeing me to run my business with one less thing to worry about."
Roger Atherton
"Very good experience working with Rick! The website turned out great and the social media content looks professional and creative. Communication is good and the process is smooth. Would definitely recommend to others looking for help with their online presence."

"When I started my biz-to-biz networking company, I needed everything: a website, email, and help with marketing. Rick at New Tech Advertising was referred to me. By the time I closed my business, I had worked with Rick for five years. He always went above and beyond with his help and expertise. I highly recommend Rick and his agency."

"Great Place for everything on-line. How on-line advertising Works!"
