Hawk Performance Brakes for Jackson

Hawk Performance, a recognized leader in high-performance braking systems, parts, and fluids, virtually slammed the brakes on the search for a marketing agency when it met Jackson, the Greenville, S.C.-based brand and motorsports marketing agency.

HawkLogoHawk has selected Jackson to help expand sales of their high-quality, high-performance, cutting-edge performance braking products to new automotive audiences, including street cars, trucks and off-road vehicles.

“The Jackson folks speak our language. They provided an interesting approach, creative ideas and deep insight into our business,” said Chad Nicoletti, Hawk marketing leader.

“Jackson is well respected in the motorsports and performance industry, and they have the relevant experience and talent to help collaborate on our marketing strategy, creative needs and implementation,” said Nicoletti.

For Jackson, Hawk Performance becomes the latest in an impressive string of recent new business wins, joining Sam’s Club, Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research, Carolina Handling, Achilles Radial and Upstate Mobility Alliance, which have all recently tapped Jackson for various marketing support.

“We are thrilled to partner with an authentic performance brand like Hawk,” said Darrell Jackson, President and CEO of Jackson, which has been recognized three times as one of Chief Marketer’s Top Shops. “They are well-known in the performance automotive space, and our combination of brand marketing skills and motorsports marketing expertise is perfect to help them expand their brand.”

Jackson offers in-house strategic marketing and consulting, branding, digital marketing, content and public relations, social media, events and tours, dealer marketing and training capabilities.

Initial priorities for Hawk Performance are marketing communication strategies, a communication plan, new packaging, website updates and collateral materials.
