"Where some companies shy away from tough jobs, we embrace them. And once my team and I take hold of a production challenge, we don’t let go until it’s strategically sound and seamlessly executed. One of the highest compliments I’ve ever been paid is that I’m a Pit Bull with a servant’s heart."
Jason Combs
Founder & President
In 1989, at the age of 19, Jason was working with a large insurance company doing telemarketing, list and DM production work. A couple of the agents were so impressed with him they suggested he start his own business. At their prompting, Jason wrote up a business plan, brought in some equipment and set up shop in his parents' 400-sq. ft. garage.
Over the years, his reputation spread and his business grew. In 1997, Strategic Marketing and Mailing acquired a big new client- a division of Saturday Evening Post— and like many of its clients, they are still with SM&M. Today, the company has evolved into a leading-edge direct mail and lettershop production house in an 80,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility.
SM&M continues to raise the bar, surprising, delighting and exceeding the expectations of regional and national clients. Jason considers himself to be a life-long learner. When it comes to serving his clients and doing what's right, he is a self-proclaimed, 'Bulldog with a servant's heart.'
