I tell you this as someone who was on CS and switched down the line to Marketing and Advertising degree - was painful coming from a sciences background, because of social sciences, yet I found both experiences great and such path gave me quite a unique understanding/perspective of the how the world, and how we, function/work/interact. Plus a lot of things became extremely easier for me, while others struggled. But I agree with you, I think OP should maybe try to find someone with marketing background to work together with and pick his brain/learn from him.
