JK August Communications

JK August Communications, Inc. was co-founded by Ken Maier and Jean-Marie Teti on August 3, 2001. Earlier that year both individuals were laid off -- Ken from his position as the head of technology at LocalBusiness.com, a dot-com that shut their doors late in April and later filed for bankruptcy, and Jean-Marie as the director of corporate communic... ations from a Fort Lauderdale-based start-up that cut staff to conserve cash. While searching for their next big career opportunities, Ken and Jean-Marie discovered something else. The pink slip frenzy left companies with the same amount of work and a smaller workforce. Companies needed the human capital but they didn't have the resources to hire full-time, seasoned employees or retain high-priced consultancy firms. Ken and Jean-Marie realized that what once delivered them to the unemployment line could very well turn out to be their silver lining in disguise. They partnered to create JK August Communications and to offer complementary services from their areas of expertise -- information technology, marketing communications and public relations -- to companies at an affordable cost. Together they deliver quality, result-oriented work, from design to implementation, to cost-conscious clients.Read More
