DALLAS –
OCTOBER 21, 2021 – Integrity
Marketing Group, LLC (“Integrity”), one of the leading independent
distributors of life, health and wealth products, today announced it has
acquired Community
Connections, an insurance marketing organization (“IMO”) based
in Manchester, Kentucky. As part of the acquisition, Jennifer Jackson,
CEO of Community Connections, will become a Managing Partner in
Integrity. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Jackson brings a deep
dedication to serving people across all walks of life. She founded her
business after her work with a local hospital revealed the vast needs in
Clay County, one of the most underserved populations in the country. In
recognition for her noteworthy accomplishments and outstanding service to
her community, Jackson was recently named a Kentucky Colonel, the highest
title of honor bestowed by the Governor of Kentucky. More than a health
insurance provider, Community Connections has become a critical resource
for residents by providing support in a region where demand is often
overwhelming. Her team utilizes an intricate understanding of Medicaid
and Medicare products, as well as connections with broader community
resources, to serve clients.
“The way Jennifer and
her agents come alongside their community to serve others inspires our
entire Integrity team,” shared Bryan W. Adams, Co-Founder and CEO of
Integrity Marketing Group. “Service is one of our core values and
partnering with people like Jennifer and her team who lead through
service is a key piece to fulfilling our mission. Integrity is always
looking for ways to help more consumers connect with the best coverage
and solutions for their needs. Our resources can dramatically impact the
way Jennifer and her team leverage their skills to serve even more
people. We’re excited to help expand the services and reach of Community
Connections through our partnership.”

Community Connections
lives up to their name through their service-focused actions and core
values. Their long-standing partnerships with several local organizations
have transformed their office into a one-stop hub for charitable
resources. Their agents and employees find deep satisfaction connecting
clients with coverage options and services that they may not know they
qualify for, such as vision, hearing, dental and prescription benefits.
“I built my business by
responding to the needs of underserved individuals in my local community
first,” said Jennifer Jackson, CEO of Community Connections. “For most
people, the insurance process can be daunting. Integrity is on a mission
to help simplify that process by giving our team valuable resources,
technology and marketing support. Integrity can take on administrative
portions of my business so I can help more individuals connect with
needed services. I’m thrilled to partner with Integrity — the growth
we’ll see together has the potential to help transform this entire
region.”
By partnering with
Integrity and offloading several back-office functions to Integrity’s
shared services team, Jackson can reclaim valuable time to grow her
business and serve even more community members. As an Integrity partner,
Community Connections gains access to centralized business functions such
as IT, legal, accounting and a world-class advertising and marketing
firm. Integrity’s robust insurtech platform of proprietary technology
includes resources such as CRM, MedicareCENTER, data and analytics, as
well as quoting and enrollment tools that will allow them to scale even
faster.
In addition, Community
Connections employees receive meaningful company ownership through Integrity’s
Employee Ownership Plan. They also join a network of legendary
industry leaders who collaborate to provide best practices and strategies
that will support their mission of serving Americans.
“At Integrity, we’re
focused on helping individuals during the hardest times of their lives.
Jennifer Jackson delivers on that mission every day in her community,”
said Ryan Kimble, Managing Partner at Integrity and CEO of Agent
Pipeline. “The work she does at Community Connections goes above and beyond
her responsibilities in the insurance business — she is making a true and
personal impact for good. Partnering with individuals like Jennifer moves
Integrity closer to its goal of innovating and improving insurance for
all stakeholders, and we are so honored to welcome her to the Integrity
family.”
