Read what our clients say about our role in accelerating their ideas to market:


“I don't think of Frehner Jens as a vendor, I consider them business partners. They feel like an extension of my team and consistently perform in the best interest of the brand/project. They help to keep us grounded in what will truly drive results. We often get caught up in our day to day work and are so close to the dynamics of our business that we need the fresh perspective they deliver. Kurt and Eric bring diverse thinking that really complements the group helping us build even stronger plans and initiatives. They are a pleasure to work with and I look forward to a long Pepsi relationship with them.”

Danielle Vona
Vice President of Marketing
Pepsi-Cola North America



“I have known and worked with Kurt and Eric for more than 10 years across a range of businesses and initiatives. Their experience and Fast-Forward™ approach consistently delivers the critical business-building insights and plans that can make or break the in-market success of an innovative new idea or technology. They are results focused, move quickly and operate with the highest level of professionalism and integrity. I would recommend them to any executive who wants to turbo-charge their innovation results.”

Tom Blinn
Former VP/GM, Global Personal Health Care
Procter & Gamble




“Originally, we approached Frehner-Jens to help us commercialize a new technology into an adjacent market to match a competitive product launch. Utilizing their Fast-Forward™ methodology, Frehner-Jens helped us gain clarity on what we would need to believe to be true for the new market opportunity to be as big as competition was projecting. This insight and understanding led us to re-focus our resources on other higher potential opportunities. In contrast, one key competitor aggressively pursued product launch and burned through significant dollars so quickly that they were forced to shut down the division. Because of the clarity Frehner-Jens delivered for us, we were able to make a more informed market decision not to pursue this trade channel. I would recommend Frehner-Jens to anyone looking to launch a technology or idea into a market that is outside their core business. They truly bring an independent, unbiased perspective to the decision making process!”

Howard Kosick
President and CEO
Tippmann Sports, LLC




“For almost 2 years, we had been debating the conceptual merits of a new service idea within our industry. We engaged Frehner-Jens and within 2 months, they identified the most critical drivers of in-market success and delivered a commercialization plan that enabled us to focus our resources on those key success drivers to unlock the full commercial value of our idea. They are a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend them to others.”

David Bottegal
CEO
Nelnet Education Services




“As a serial entrepreneur, I’ve learned that getting focused on the key drivers of success early in the project is the most important thing I can do. Frehner-Jens has been a driving force in helping me transform my latest technology/service idea into a reality by helping us gain early clarity on what’s important, enabling us to focus our limited resources on the few things that matter. I would recommend them to any executive who wants to transform a breakthrough idea into an in-market success.”

Todd Gebron
Founder & CEO
Statement Services




“Hiring Frehner-Jens increased our capacity allowing us to both accelerate next year's lifecycle priorities while focusing the current team on delivering the current business priorities. They bring excellent marketing skills and experience and were able to work with people across our organization and within our culture. Unlike typical consultants, instead of just telling us what work needs to be done, they rolled up their sleeves and worked side-by-side with people in our company to move projects forward. My management was so impressed that we were able to both move the current business forward and deliver lifecycle initiatives. Hiring Frehner-Jens renews my faith in business consultants.”

Greg Deener
Marketing Director
GlaxoSmithKline




“We specialize in placing some of the top marketers and brand-builders in the world. We know — and our candidates know — what it takes to get new business into the market. But even the best need more capacity, and even the best lack some of the skills associated with launching new business. We've referred Frehner-Jens to a number of our clients, and will keep recommending them.”
