TSC has acquired Kreative Marketing Kompany, a branded merchandise distributor based in Solon, Ohio.
The deal gives TSC its first presence in the Cleveland area and strengthens the company’s footprint across the Midwest.
KMK Team to Join TSC
Kreative Marketing Kompany’s 16 employees will become part of TSC’s national team.
Founder Barry Jacobson will stay with the business as Director of Sales and continue leading the Solon-based operation.
TSC CEO Sam Riden said the acquisition was driven in part by KMK’s long-standing client relationships and the strength of its existing team.
Sixth Acquisition in Six Years
The KMK deal continues a broader acquisition strategy for TSC.
The company has now completed six acquisitions in six years, including deals in Minnesota, North Carolina, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
That expansion has also pushed TSC higher in the PPAI 100 rankings. The distributor was unranked in 2024, entered at No. 79 in 2025, and moved to No. 46 in 2026.
TSC Expands Its Multi-State Presence
With the latest acquisition, TSC now operates offices in Mississippi, Ohio, Minnesota, and Texas.
The company says the deal creates more room for growth while keeping the local KMK team and client relationships in place.
