Jared Cullop
Partner, President of Marketing Services
Jared Cullop
Leading VPI’s Strategic Marketing Services, Jared spends countless hours placing himself into the consumer demographic for clients, seeing the industry and the client’s company as the consumer sees them. Then, he outlines the different brand personalities within that market and helps his clients place themselves strategically within it. With a key understanding of the emotional factors in decision making, Jared defines who his client should be, in as few words as possible. From there, he guides his team as they use the most advanced and proven tools available.
“All marketing groups have the same tools at their disposal. What separates us from the rest is how we use those tools while never losing sight of the end-goals along the way. I am an entrepreneur who has owned many businesses and know what it’s like to meet payroll, to take a risk and invest in promotion in a time where I’m struggling to pay my bills. While most other marketing firms offer you the services of someone with a marketing degree, which I do have, through VPI Strategic Marketing Services, I am able to bring my real world experience to lead a team that offers you the ideas of a group of successful, passionate business people that know how to execute efficiently.” Jared Cullop

“Metro Communications LLC would like to commend VPI for their creativity and high energy. We can always depend on them to deliver unique ideas and profitable strategies. When we partnered with VPI, our logo and website were very dated. We began working with Jared Cullop to rebrand our business. Jared’s creativeness and professionalism know no bounds. We would go so far as to say he is a genius! The logo that Jared and his team designed sets Metro Communications LLC apart from our competitor. They also designed a hybrid site to replace our existing dated website. This hybrid site allows us to update it on our own. Thank you Jared for all your great ideas and hard work! Jimmy and I are elated with the image that you have created for our business. It has truly been a pleasure working with you. We can’t say it enough. ‘You are a genius!” Pam Suessman & Jimmy Hayes, Metro Communications LLC.
Fun Fact
Jared and his wife Erin have a strong passion for travel. They were engaged in Italy and have returned countless times. They spent the majority of 2008 doing mission work in Switzerland and Thailand. Amsterdam, Vancouver, and Florence are among their favorite places. They now have a third little traveler, Elias Cullop. He’s yet to make it to Europe, but at 2 years of age he’s seen much of America. Jared has also carried a deep passion for cars since birth, according to his parents. This led him to build a Porsche that would be invited to a “shootout” in Excellence Magazine, which is the world’s largest Porsche magazine. His car won and graced the cover of the April 2009 issue. Since then, the magazine has sent him to Germany to be amongst the first to test the new Porsche Panamera super-sedan. The resulting article was published in the October 2009 issue. Recently, the magazine flew him back to California for a two day test, in which he was paired with Patrick Long, Porsche’s only American factory driver. This article will be in an upcoming issue of Excellence. Speaking of cars, Jared’s first love was the Datsun Z car. Since owning his first, before turning 16, Jared has owned 13 more of these wonderful cars from the early ‘70s. His current showpiece has just completed a 2 year, full restoration. He will be entering it into the most prestigious car show of its kind this July in hopes of winning the Gold Medallion Award.
