About Jacobs & Clevenger
Jacobs & Clevenger is an independently owned Chicago direct marketing agency founded in 1982 by Ron Jacobs, co-author of Successful Direct Marketing Methods.

At $100-149/hr with a $10K minimum, they have driven results including a 300% customer base growth for Serta. Clutch lists a 5.0 rating from 1 verified review.
Who Jacobs & Clevenger Is Best For
Jacobs & Clevenger is purpose-built for regulated industries and mission-driven organizations that rely on measurable direct response marketing rather than brand advertising. Their four-decade track record in financial services and insurance direct mail is a specific differentiator for compliance-sensitive buyers who need a firm that understands the regulatory environment. Digital-first product companies or startups will find their methodology oriented toward traditional marketing channels.
