Mike Whitman, founder of Premier Marketing Group (PMG), said he is thrilled that his company is joining forces with “such a prestigious, well-established, growth-oriented company.” He said his client base, product line and service-oriented approach to customer relations will “dovetail nicely” with the Grossman team.
