About VMAC
Consultants

VMAC Consultants was founded in Hawaii in 2010 by Junior Kekuewa Jr.

For Junior, the work has never been about using the same approach for every business.

Business owners come to VMAC Consultants with different situations. Some know exactly what they want help with. Others know part of the business is not working the way it should, but they are not sure what is causing it. And many come in asking for one thing, only to find that a different part of the business needs attention first.

That is where Junior begins.

He looks at the business as a whole, works to understand what is really going on, and helps determine what needs to happen next.

Junior Kekuewa Jr., Founder and President of VMAC Consultants

Founder & President

Junior Kekuewa Jr.

Junior brings more than 30 years of experience in business development, media, marketing, communication, and working with businesses throughout Hawaii.

His experience crosses industries including hospitality, retail, entertainment, food, professional services, and other locally owned businesses.

Over the years, Junior has helped clients build visibility, develop new business, pursue retail opportunities, improve their marketing, clarify how they present themselves, and work through challenges that were holding the business back.

But the work is not the same for every client.

One business needs more customers. Another needs to rethink its message. Another sees an opportunity but does not know how to approach it. Another comes in asking for marketing when the issue is actually in another part of the business.

Junior’s role is to see the bigger picture and help the owner determine the right move. He stays directly involved in the work from beginning to end.

A business-first approach

How VMAC Works

The relationship starts with a conversation.

You tell us what is happening, what you are trying to accomplish, and where you need help.

There is no expectation that you already know which service you need.

Junior reviews the situation with you and determines where VMAC can be useful. From there, the work is shaped around the needs of the business.

When additional expertise is required, Junior brings in people he trusts to support that part of the work.

The business comes first. The services come after.

Rooted in Hawaii

Built here.
Focused here.

VMAC was built here, and the work remains focused on Hawaii businesses and entrepreneurs.

Business in Hawaii is shaped by more than numbers.

Relationships matter. Reputation matters. Communication matters. So does understanding the community in which a business operates.

Junior has spent decades working within that environment and brings that experience to every client relationship.

Start With What’s Going On

Come with the situation.

You do not have to come to VMAC with the solution. Tell us what is working, what is not, what you want to accomplish, or what you cannot quite figure out.

Junior will help you look at the whole picture and determine where to begin.
