The AAM Group Names Marketing Specialist for Engine Pro

The AAM Group, which recently assumed operational oversight of the Engine Pro program, has hired Jeff Kesar to lead marketing and strategic planning for the program, the company announced.

Kesar, who most recently helped Phoenix-based Western Window Systems grow its annual revenue from $6 million to $165 million as the company’s creative director, grew up building race cars before shifting gears to enter the world of marketing, the company said. He started his career at Hayes Engineering, a Las Vegas race car and engine-building shop, before moving to Shelby American to help establish its chassis line. He also produced the Motorsports Mania television show that aired on Fox Sports Network Arizona.

In his role as AAM Group Marketing Specialist, Kesar will work to bring Engine Pro into the existing portfolio of AAM Group marketing programs, integrating tools and services that make sense for resellers in the engine performance industry as well as devising new solutions that address the particular concerns of those business owners, the AAM Group said, and will also create and execute an ongoing strategy to generate exposure and influence for Engine Pro supplier partners.
