We engaged Jeff to help us market our business intelligence solutions to the wine industry and to create an imaginative brand name and market a new product offering. A sage is someone who has wisdom from experience, and that’s how we describe working with Jeff. He works with us as an acting Chief Marketing Officer since we don’t need a person full time in that role today.
