Kim Hammeren
Vice President Sales and Marketing
For over 25 years, Kim has been developing successful sales promotions, marketing campaigns, and strategies that drive profits for retailers, manufactures, charities, and service industries. Kim loves the expanded role that a “salesperson” has taken in today's marketplace, where fact finding, creative interpretation, and relationship building are intrinsic components to the buyer and seller.
Formally educated at Ken State University, Kim became a part of Those Characters from Cleveland (TCFC). This licensing arm of American Greetings is one of the nation’s most prolific character development companies. At TCFC, Kim worked to secure services for Fortune 500 companies, designing strategies for leading retailers and online clients. He is a member of the original team of marketers responsible for Strawberry Shortcake, Care Bears, Popples, Mad balls, and My Pet Monster.
Kim explains, “Everyone is looking for that special something that can drive a wedge between them and their competition. Brand loyalty, recognition, and entertainment value are the keys to winning the awareness and dedicated affection of the general public…wherever you go!”
