With more than 20 years of brand building and strategic marketing experience at Procter & Gamble, Subway Restaurants, and Stew Leonard’s, Jeff understands the challenges facing today’s marketers and how a strategic media agency partner can accelerate business results.
Jeff has seen how a relentless focus on the customer, clear messaging strategy, and truly integrated media planning can increase business impact.
