The Kerry Group, a global marketing communications firm in St. Louis, and TriVantage Marketing Group, a brand-building solutions company that serves Fortune 500 clients from its headquarters in Houston, Texas, have established a strategic partnership to help companies realize greater return on investment in brand development, marketing, and promotional programs in consumer-directed and business-to-business communications programs.

In a statement, Robert McCann, CEO of the Kerry Group, and Wayne Luciano, Founder and Principal of TriVantage Marketing Group, said, “Emerging, regional, and global companies are all looking for more productive and efficient marketing and sales development solutions to maximize growth while minimizing costs. This strategic partnership addresses those client needs with our diverse professional assets, broad strategic and creative resources, synergies of new technology, and expanded program management capabilities.”
