MARKETING SERVICES CONSULTING

MARKETING SERVICES BACKGROUND

My name is Steve Ebner. I founded this marketing services company in 2002, after 12 years of creating marketing strategies in the corporate world. Since then, I've helped over 40 companies acquire more sales leads, improve customer loyalty, launch new products, boost search engine rankings, and fully leverage the Internet. Although I now work with a team of marketing services consultants, I remain the lead consultant for every active client...including all new clients. The following is a snapshot of my background.
