Brian and the Department of Growth were the perfect augment to our team. Lighter Capital is the pioneer in the revenue-based financing space, and it was very helpful to get a fresh perspective on how we tell our story. Brian took an interdisciplinary approach across strategy, content, social, data, and advertising that helped us to differentiate. We highly recommend Brian and the team.
