Former Nature’s Way marketing executive Jeff Hilton takes
notice.
Meanwhile, Matt Aller begins working with Hilton on natural products through his design firm, Aller & Rasmussen.
Things go well
In April of 1997 Integrated Marketing Group is co-founded by Hilton and
Aller.
Of course, none of this would have been possible without IMG’s first
employee, current business manager and MVP, Melanee Brown.
The small agency starts offering marketing and creative services to
clients such as raw ingredient suppliers.

to the brain and GI tract.* This 90%+ protein potato powder delivers a much higher concentration (40%) of
satiety-inducing PI2 and is so e�ective that consumers feel the benefit with the first dose.* Give your consumers
the new GRAS non-animal protein ingredient proven to curb appetite and increase satisfaction.* Give them Solathin.
