"Jim is a tremendous asset to our organization. His professional insight and industry experience have made a huge difference in our sales and channel programs. Best of all, our bottom line results have well exceeded our expectations." -Michael Briola Executive Vice President and Co-Founder MindArrow Systems, Inc. Timbuk2 Designs, Inc. In 2003, Hart Sales and Marketing acted as the interim VP Sales for Timbuk2 Designs, a leading manufacturer of Classic Messenger Bags.  In addition to providing needed sales leadership, we were responsible for managing and adding new distribution in the computer channels.  Timbuk2 achieved overall revenue growth of 47% for 2003.  Kensington Technology Group In April 2001 the Kensington Technology Group, a leading provider of computer accessories, retained Hart Sales & Marketing to help them introduce their Digital Photo Albums to alternative channels outside their traditional retail channel. HSM successfully placed these products in a number of Premium and Incentive programs, including the 2002 Diners Club Rewards catalog. The most successful placement was with the Frontgate Catalog, where these products became the best selling items for their 2001 Holiday season. This depleted Kensington’s inventory, allowing them to exit the category.
