                  K Group Experience 
                   
                  K Group brings vast experience to revenue building endeavors 
                  – both as an outside consultant and as a senior marketing 
                  and business development executive. Practice leader, Jerry Kackley, 
                  led the planning and development function for three different 
                  corporations during his business career including Frito Lay 
                  (during the highest growth period in company history), North 
                  American Van Lines (during the move to trucking deregulation 
                  in the early 1980s) and Marriott Corporation (in the late 1980’s 
                  as it dramatically expanded the hotel franchise and experienced 
                  unprecedented corporate realignment). 
                   
                  As an outside consultant, K Group worked on a retainer basis 
                  with four large, successful newspaper companies (San Diego Union 
                  Tribune, San Francisco Newspaper Agency, The Arizona Republic, 
                  and The Indianapolis Star with direct revenue development responsibility. 
                  This work resulted in just over $50 million in new revenue streams 
                  at acceptable to high profit margins.
