    25-Year Promo Veteran Jennifer Savor Retires

    Jennifer Savor, co-founder of distributor LinJen Promotions, has officially transitioned into retirement following its acquisition by Firebrand Global Marketing (PPAI 304784, Standard-Plus).

    The deal is part of Firebrand’s strategic growth track, in which the Illinois-based firm is focused on acquiring values-aligned distributor companies in the $200K–$2M revenue range. Each acquisition prioritizes seamless transitions, cultural fit and customized pathways for outgoing owners – from short-term consulting to phased retirements.

    • Both companies are certified Women Business Enterprises.

    “This was never just about business – it was about trust,” says Lisa Greyhill, president of Firebrand. “LinJen built deep relationships with its clients. It was something personal, and we’re proud to carry that forward.”
