Arnie Fox and Steve Durning have partnered to form a new marketing services firm, GAIN Aftermarket, which offers marketing talent on a contract basis without the high cost and commitment of hiring additional permanent staff for manufacturers, remanufacturers, WDs, and retailers.

“From my experience in automotive marketing management, I know that extra talent is often needed for specific purposes, such as new product development and launches, market analyses, e-cataloging, major trade shows, etc.,” Fox said. "Budget and headcount limitations often prevent adding the experienced permanent hires that could optimize these events, but GAIN Aftermarket offers a viable alternative.”

“I have often seen clients needing more than just an ad or a website," Durning said. "Arnie brings expertise to the core areas that really grow a business. That’s why I saw a great opportunity in combining our efforts.”

Fox has held marketing management positions at Fel-Pro Incorporated, Federal-Mogul Corporation, and Dana Incorporated for more than three decades. Durning was the creative director at Meyer/Fredericks and rebranded the agency to Durning Communications in 2009, serving the advertising and public relations needs of automotive businesses, as well as other B2B industries.
