I have a management consulting role with a internet based direct marketing company and my primary role is to help the company grow in size. It would be great to bounce some ideas around with someone experienced.
I saw this post, and don't know if you ever connected with anyone who could help you. I staarted in the direct marketing business 30+ years ago, my wife and I built one of the earliest email marketing platforms (which we sold to a public company a few years ago). We definitely understand the space and would be interested in helping you if we fit the bill.
