DALLAS, April 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrity Marketing Group, LLC ("Integrity"), a leading distributor of life and health insurance, and provider of wealth management and retirement planning solutions, today announced it has acquired Senior Insurance Specialists, an independent marketing organization ("IMO") based in Joplin, Missouri.

"Their reputation has created an inspiring legacy of customer loyalty and agent retention throughout the Midwest. At Integrity, service is paramount in our business as well. Our cutting-edge resources and technology will position Senior Insurance Specialists for substantial new growth opportunities. Jacob started his business by following his father's amazing example of decades of service. Today, he's preserving his own company's proud legacy while preparing for an even brighter future with an Integrity partnership. I can't wait to see Senior Insurance Specialists reach new heights as a member of the Integrity team!"

"Family is essential to us — and we consider our clients and employees part of our family. We quickly realized that Integrity shares those same values," explained Jacob Knorpp, CEO of Senior Insurance Specialists. "Over the years, Senior Insurance Specialists has helped thousands of seniors find peace of mind while they plan for the future. Today, Integrity offers that same opportunity for us. We're thrilled to now have the tools to continue our rapid growth and leave a lasting impact on the lives of clients across the country. Integrity's extensive technology offerings and customer support will push our agents to a more sophisticated level, which gives me more confidence than I already have about the future of our business. At Senior Insurance Specialists, we're driven to succeed through service, and now we have a great partner in Integrity to share in our journey."

Knorpp adds his relationship-building expertise to Integrity's rapidly growing partner network. Through the framework of this collective of industry legends, leading companies work collaboratively to innovate insurance and financial processes.
