Jamie Turner Joins BKV as Director of Consumer Insights

ATLANTA - Jamie Turner recently joined Bennett Kuhn Varner (BKV) as the director of consumer insights.

With over 20 years of marketing and advertising experience, Turner will help BKV clients uncover the hidden and not-so-hidden reasons behind why people buy the products they do. His innovative systems and techniques allow clients to sell more products to more customers less expensively.

In the early 1990s he founded Turner & Turner, a well-respected Atlanta-based ad agency. Turner & Turner’s clients included CNN, Nextel, Motorola, Cartoon Network, and Coca-Cola Enterprises. The agency won many national awards (CA, OneShow, Radio Mercury) and Best of Show at the Atlanta ADDYs more times during the 1990s than any other agency in the city.

Turner has appeared on TV, radio and in print as an expert on advertising and marketing. He is a regular guest on the morning talk show on WGST 640 AM in Atlanta. Turner is also a frequent speaker at universities, trade organizations and corporations around the country on subjects ranging from brand strategy to consumer behavior.
