About CROSSMARK

Sourced by ZipRecruiter

CROSSMARK had completed 55 mergers and acquisitions in its quest to become a national sales agency, managing brands, and performing sales functions for manufacturers and performing in-store merchandising services at retailers nationwide. The same year, we expanded our operations to Canada to broaden our impact in North America. And in 2013 we acquired Chicago-based agencies Marketing Werks and PromoWorks to deliver end-to-end shopper marketing and engagement—both in store and out. The fusion of talents and expertise among these agencies, with CROSSMARK at the core, has empowered us to deliver a leading, all-encompassing, and completely integrated Marketing Services arm to our organization. Company milestones and service expansions have only been possible because of the true beating heart of CROSSMARK: our people. Our dedicated and passionate employees work hard to provide clients with the best opportunities to drive sales, to see brands thrive, and to create lasting connections. We’re excited for what’s next in our ever-evolving company—and we hope you’ll join us for the journey ahead.
