(1888PressRelease) August 17, 2010 - Greg Hoffman Consulting, a successful affiliate management agency, has created an advisory council comprised of affiliate marketing experts and industry veterans to help with thought leadership and overall strategy to better serve current and future clients.

Their collective wisdom will support the GHC team with invaluable insight and will uniquely differentiate the outsourced program management firm from competitors.
