About Us
Marketing Kitchen was founded on four simple beliefs:
Do great work for great clients
Deliver outstanding service
Be true partners
Provide a great place to work.
This has been our recipe since day one. (And we plan to keep it that way.)
A note from our founder Audrey Jamieson
In 1999 I had the good fortune to join The FSA Group, a company founded by my brother Rob van Velzen and I immediately fell in love with the print, fulfillment and direct mail business. What I enjoyed most of all was working closely with clients and helping them succeed by providing services they needed. I learned early on that if you do excellent work and provide clients with exceptional service, you can forge a lasting relationship that benefits everyone. In 2011, in the prime of his life, Rob had to sell FSA after being diagnosed with cancer. I was fortunate to have had so many amazing years working alongside such a great visionary and leader.
“Don't wait. Live each day.
Have a plan for yourself and do it now.”
—Rob van Velzen 1960-2011
I opened Marketing Kitchen in the Spring of 2014 as a I knew that a smaller, more entrepreneurial environment is where I thrived. In the final stages of launching the business I was able to acquire the assets of Yvelo Mailing Services, a small direct mail shop that had my identical customer service beliefs. I could tell the moment I walked into their shop that they did great work for great clients, so it was the perfect acquisition with impeccable timing.
It’s very exciting to work in a flexible and fresh environment where we focus daily on innovation, quality, service and having a bit of fun.
