Management buys out Leawood insurance marketing company
October 8, 2013 by James Dornbrook, Reporter - Kansas City Business Journal
Leawood-based Creative Marketing International Corp., a national marketing organization for annuities, life insurance and securities, was acquired by CM2 Holding Inc. for an undisclosed amount.
CM2 Holding is a company owned by several members of the Creative Marketing management team. The new ownership team includes President Mike Tripses, COO/CFO Will Moneymaker and minority owner Mark Heitz, who formerly was president of sales and distribution for Aviva USA.
Creative marketing was previously owned by Aviva, which helped the company quadruple its production.
“Creative’s management has been working to take the company independent since the announcement last year that Aviva was selling its U.S.-based divisions,” Tripses said in a release. “We will continue our relationships with all of our insurance carrier partners and friends for whom we have become a go-to marketing organization they can count on.”
Creative Marketing has more than 130 employees.
