Have a Burning Business Question? Ask the Expert: Jim Joseph.

Marketing is a huge part of any endeavor's success; without it, a business is bound to fail. But getting people to take note of your business goes beyond a periodic tweet or press release. With innovation occurring rapidly, entrepreneurs and marketers are needing to hone their skills to focus on specific channels – mobile, content and video, to name a few – and must keep their ears to the ground for new trends to remain competitive. With all these moving parts, marketing can make a person's head spin.

Fortunately, marketing and PR expert Jim Joseph is looking to help. "I’ve had the luxury of continually amazing marketing training and experiences throughout my career," he says. "As I’ve progressed through my many roles, I’ve conquered every facet of marketing, which honestly is a gift. I understand that entrepreneurs do not generally get that kind of exposure, so I’d like to share it with them, to help them."
