Nathan of Brainfertilizer Fame Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 After years of being an unofficial marketing official, Jon Kammerer has asked me to officially become his Marketing Manager. Still not sure what all it entails, but part of it is being a sales representative here in the DC area, maybe going to guitar shows, maybe direct sales to stores in some of the other area metropolises, like Baltimore, Philly, Richmond. Dunno. I'm probably going to take him up on the offer, but we'll do it all on a trial basis, making changes until we're both satisfied. Don't worry, I won't shill his products here.
diablo175 Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Congrats, Nathan! Though I have little (none) interest in the brand, I think that's great news! Must be exciting!
polara Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 That's great! I have no idea what your background is, but feel free to bounce ideas off me if you ever want, or to ask about vendors, systems, all that stuff. I've been in marketing for over 20 years (sigh), lately at VP and Director level, and sometimes have a good idea.

I will contact you as I get moving with this, but probably won't be until Spring. Thanks!
