Jonathan serves as the President of Strategic 7 Marketing, bringing over 30 years of experience in connecting marketing with sales to drive business growth. He specializes in crafting impactful marketing strategies, uncovering key growth opportunities, building and maintaining strong brands and executing lead-generating digital marketing initiatives for traditional B2B and professional services firms.

Prior to founding Strategic 7 Marketing, Jonathan held key leadership roles that shaped his expertise in marketing and business development. He served as an Associate VP in charge of Malone Advertising’s B2B Marketing division before joining Skoda Minotti, a CPA and business advisory firm, as Vice President of Marketing in 2006. In 2009, he launched Skoda Minotti’s Strategic Marketing Services Group, and in 2013, was named partner, becoming the firm’s first non-CPA partner.

During his tenure, Jonathan served on both Skoda’s Executive Committee and Trusted Business Advisory team and was the architect of the firm’s award-winning brand. Following Marcum LLP’s acquisition of Skoda Minotti in 2020, Jonathan successfully spun off the agency from Marcum in 2021, establishing Strategic 7 Marketing as an independent entity.

Jonathan has been a sought-after speaker, having presented at events such as the BDO Alliance Conference, Leading Edge Alliance, the American Builders and Contractors Association (ABC) Conference and the Mentor, OH Chamber of Commerce. He also conducts business development workshops tailored for professional service firms.

As a HubSpot-certified inbound marketer and Growth-Driven Web Design professional, Jonathan brings advanced expertise to his work. He is an active member of the Association for Accounting Marketers (AAM), where he serves on the Membership Committee, and he serves his community as a board member of the Cleveland Baseball Federation.

“We value vision and the achievement of strategic goals, just as our clients do. So for us, everything we do starts with understanding the professional and organizational goals and objectives of the people we work with.”
