For a millennia, pyramids remain the hallmark for stability in architecture. The wide base and sloping sides distribute weight evenly making them resistant to collapse. Distributing the weight at work, also creates stability. Each partner absorbs the load that utilizes their strongest skillsets. That's strong, effective teamwork! PPAI awarded our company, Promotional Partners, a 2026 Silver Pyramid Award for a Client Education Program. We are thrilled to be recognized by PPA

It's hard to watch someone try to dance with no sense of rhythm. Take a look at the difference in the patterns formed by these shapes & lines. What is your visual response? Some individuals respond to patterns and possess the ability to infuse those images into dance or music. Ask me next time we meet about a workshop in early 2000 at the Art Museum- dancing with art. Even as a creative, it was not my jam. Similarly in art repeating patterns serves a purpose. Through the repe

This celebration signaled it was time to plant crops and crown a new king, so a resolution might have been as simple as returning borrowed farm equipment. The ancient Romans adopted their calendar, and shifted it to the Julian calendar in 46 B.C designating Jan 1 as the

There's a reason we use the idiom - like a broken record. Repeating the same words or applying the same action never breaks the cycle; instead your repetition keeps you turning in circles. Eighteen years in business and sixty-one years of life have taught me that much of what is important is overshadowed by what keeps us up at night. Everyone is flawed, carrying around their own insecurities and fears everyday. The courage to forge ahead is what matters. Our company is the pr
