"Free enterprise is basically war," says Keith Chambers, founder and president of The Chambers Group. "If you are among those who don't believe this, you are likely to become one of its casualties." Keith's innovative techniques and successes have kept his clients from becoming casualties for over thirty years and have made him one of the nation's leading marketing consultants for Fortune 100 brands.

Keith has assisted more than 160 goods and service providers in formulating their marketing messages, including Arm & Hammer, Hormel, Coppertone, Claritin, Crest Spinbrush, First Response, Trojan, ScotchBrite, Miss America, McCormick, Clorox, General Mills, Dole, Frito Lay and many more.

Graduating from the Arizona State University with an undergraduate degree in Advertising and Marketing, Keith then established his own marketing firm which began a successful package design studio for brands such as Hi-C, Van de Kamps, Hunts, MJB, and Minute Maid. It soon became clear, though, that his clients needed more than dynamic packaging; they required a comprehensive and cohesive marketing strategy. Keith Chambers expanded his services to include the naming and positioning, and has been a growing and successful Marketing Agency for over three decades.

In 2009, Keith published his first book, *"Pull: Marketing Secrets the Fortune 100 Use."

A turning point came in 1988, when Sega approached Keith for assistance with their packaging design image for a new high-powered home video game platform. When told that the company had yet to name their product, Keith saw an opportunity. He created the brand Sega Genesis; by its second year, Sega Genesis was exceeding $500 million in sales. Instantly, Keith redefined himself into a unique creative marketing company, helping clients to fully develop the branding and positioning of their products.

Considered unorthodox by many, Keith Chambers brought originality to his marketing approach. "In the old days, a client would tell us what he wanted," Keith explains. "Today, they share what they need and we fulfill it." The relationship with the consumer has changed, as well. Rather than develop a marketing concept and then measure the consumer response to it, Keith consults the consumer first, and then defines their needs ensuring they are met in the new concept.

Keith brings innovation and fierce loyalty to each of his clients, ensuring they are able to survive the constantly changing battlefield of the marketplace. "If you are part of the change, you'll be successful. Bystanders will get their butts kicked sooner or later." His best inspiration is the fear of failure. "Every problem has a solution, especially in marketing," Keith says.

Keith Chambers is headquartered in Los Angeles, and has offices in Dallas and Philadelphia.
