## About

Digital Evolution Marketing Group (DEMG) is a data-driven marketing agency
founded by Jeff Barnes. We serve owner-operators — founders who ARE the
bottleneck in their own business — with AI-powered marketing systems,
coaching, and one-time setup services.

Jeff Barnes is a multi-company operator, former US Navy nuclear power plant
operator and Navy diver (USS Jefferson City), two-time bestselling author
("All Hands on Deck" and "The Ultimate Guide to Self-Directed Investing &
Retirement Planning"), MBA from University of Washington, and founder of
Angel Investors Network (est. 1997, longest-established online investment
club in the US). His approach: systems beat slogans, ownership beats wages,
competence beats credentials.
