Herbert Pease Sr. turned his vision into reality in 1966 when he founded Marketing Management, Inc. (MMI): a brokerage firm specializing in private brands in Fort Worth, Texas. His dream went further, to form a family business, and that tradition continues today with both his son Herb Pease Jr. as President, and daughter Kimberly Pease as Vice President.

In the early 1980’s, MMI implemented the Service Purchase Program in order to increase private brand sales for both the distributor and the retailer. This program evolved into the current MDF Program (Market Development Funds). With this program, business dramatically grew and today MMI is a leader in the private brand industry. As private brands became more sophisticated, so did MMI. The growth and expansion of private brands required more specialized professional services and between the early 1980’s and now, MMI brought services that were once outsourced in house.

Today, the MMI business model consists of four individual business units, or professional service groups, working as an integrated team to support the private brand industry, as well as working independently to target their own markets. The business units are as follows: Consumer Science, MMI Label Inventory Management, Immotion Studios, and ProductMaster.

Quality Assurance and Consumer Affairs were assembled creating services to bring quality to private brand goods. With the assistance of Pease, Sr., the Quality Assurance Association was established in 1989. Today we have a state- of- the- art Consumer Science Department.

In 1989 our Creative Department opened to offer assistance in the design and development of private brands. Our award winning design team has assisted clients in the creation of labels, ads and commercials. With more than twenty years of expansion and evolution, this creative team has become known as Immotion Studios.

Also in 1989, Valor International was established as the sales and marketing agent for International distributors and a financial solutions provider creating a new level for MMI. This company has grown and now provides logistics services throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico.
