We know JK Marketing has our best interest in mind. We partnered with JK Marketing for our Kroger, Vitacost & Harris Teeter business because they simplify the process, keep us informed with business intelligence and provide actionable reporting. I can heavily recommend JK Marketing as a premium broker group to represent any brand due to the quality of their work, awareness of the market, and focus on what is best for your brand.

The whole JK Marketing Team are great collaborators! Having worked directly with this group going on 6 years, and our company for more than 8, they have represented our existing lines, new innovations, and company very well. From data, research and reporting to shelf reviews, promotion plans, line recommendations and buyer relations, JK Marketing brings the full toolkit and has helped us to drive our business forward in lockstep with our short-term and long-term business aims. We consider JK Marketing more than brokers, they are truly a valued and direct extension of our in-house sales team.
