Faces of Fayetteville

2022-2023 CityView's FACES of FAYETTEVILLE 3 THE FACE OF JK PREMIER MARKETING Jamie Kight Jamie Kight is the owner and executive director of JK Premier Marketing, a minority-owned and woman-led business that prioritizes hiring only military veterans and spouses. The company specializes in website design, graphic design, social media, brand development, and digital advertising. Living in the Fort Bragg area since 2006, Kight began to recognize a need for military spouses. The unemployment rate for military spouses was 20% to 24% compared with civilian counterparts at 4.4% to 7%. Military spouses with professional degrees struggled with employment because of the demands of moving, state licensing, and deployments. Kight's mission was to provide military veterans and spouses the opportunity to showcase their skills and expertise in a company that offered the understanding and flexibility they needed. That's when she took action and started JK Premier Marketing in 2014. JK Premier Marketing comprises highly educated military spouses with diverse backgrounds and outstanding talent. "We already function with the high expectation of being America's finest, and we translate that into everything we do. We have exemplary character and leadership skills ingrained in us. We are remarkably competent, creative, highly motivated, and ever-resourceful. Most important, we know how to align with someone else's vision and carry it out successfully," says Kight. JK Premier Marketing is a premier digital marketing firm with a mission to forge immersive experiences, compose compelling stories, and cultivate provocative products that play a meaningful role in the lives of others. "We collaborate with a diverse portfolio of brands, companies, and organizations that want to make a big impact in the marketplace and let their message shine," Kight says. "Our purpose is to launch clients strategically and competitively into the digital landscape so they can ultimately make a difference in today's world." JK Premier Marketing is also a prominent supporter of the Special Forces Association Chapter 100 and the North Carolina Military Affairs Commission. 919-364-4094, 2547 Ravenhill Drive, Suite 100-B, Fayetteville, JKPremierMarketing.com Contributed photo
