What We Stand For
Integrated Marketing Solutions to help trailblazers go further, faster.

Knowledge

We don’t chase trends; we pursue knowledge relentlessly.

With a century of direct marketing expertise, we’ve distilled what truly works and strive for continuous improvement. We lead with data-driven wisdom, crafting unshakable business strategies for ourselves and our customers.

Curiosity

Curiosity isn’t just our compass; it’s our engine.

Fueled by inexhaustible curiosity and unwavering entrepreneurial spirit, we’re open to fresh possibilities. Having discovered treasures on the road less traveled, we’re passionate about lighting the path for our inquisitive customers.

Insight

Without INSIGHT, data is just numbers.

Data is the means to insights that drive decisions. We foster open, honest dialogue among our experts and partners to cultivate sharp understanding, illuminating a clear path forward.

Truth

We embrace and speak the TRUTH, even when it stings.

An honest and humble grasp of reality takes guts, but recognizing our pain points is the first step to progress. We hold ourselves, our team, and our partners accountable for facing reality head-on and taking action to make it better.

Persistence

Dogged PERSISTENCE keeps us in the battle, so we can win the war.

We didn’t survive the Great Depression, World War II and 15 recessions without the willingness to persist no matter what. Weathering time, trends and countless economic storms has taught us the value of persistence. We always find the answer, no matter how challenging the problem.

Our History

Established in 1997, Integrated Marketing Solutions (IMS) was a spin-off from The Swiss Colony, now Colony Brands, Inc. IMS was formed as an independent entity to allow the highly successful strategies developed by Colony Brands to be leveraged across a broader range of business opportunities and for other businesses who want to realize their full growth and profit potential.
