I agree and I thought that was what Nick Brooks was brought in for.
"Mr. Nicholas ("Nick") Martin Brooks is Non-Executive Director of the Company. Mr. Brooks has over 40 years of experience in the petroleum and bio-energy sectors and extensive experience creating and internationalising businesses in Asia, Middle East, Central Europe, Africa and the Americas. Further he acts in an advisory capacity to a number of international biofuels/bioenergy businesses, and mentors young entrepreneurs. Most recently Mr Brooks was CEO of Future Blends Limited, a company focused on the development of carbon efficient technology solutions to convert residual and non-edible biomass into energy, liquid fuels and bio-chemicals. In 2009, he co-founded, Mycologix, a second-generation biofuels technology company and prior to this, in 2007, was the CEO of Bioverda, where he led a multinational team located throughout Europe controlling company strategy and directing operations in two biodiesel businesses and a landfill gas power business. He also developed a pipeline of projects including crushing/esterification biodiesel projects and a number of bio-energy projects. From 2006 to 2007 Mr. Brooks served as CEO of Sun Biofuels Ltd, an African based company investing in energy crop plantations in Tanzania, Ethiopia and Mozambique. He oversaw the strategic and operational development of the company, focussing primarily on the acceleration of land acquisition and planting. From the mid-2000s, Mr. Brooks moved on to create and become CEO of early-stage agricultural, biofuel and bioenergy companies operating in Europe and Africa, and became Entrepreneur in Residence at Imperial Innovations covering clean technology.

With his CV he has plenty of experience of marketing.
