Every year we create stories; together.
What drives us to create?
What fuels us generating the momentum to move forward?
Each of you.
Reflecting like Janus, here's our 2025 retrospective:

We tenaciously focus on community:
Through our Promotional Partners Cares Program we made a difference in the triangle community. In 2025, we invested in 18 local programs or organizations, giving back $11,975.00 to the community. Since 2007, our investments total $98,870.00 into local programs and organizations that enrich the triangle.
We are vigorously creative and collaborative:
As idea engineers, we applied our marketing savvy and innovative thinking into growing your brand identity, with clear message and voice. Our original approach to graphic design, marketing, advertising and brand engagement earned us a distinguished national award, a PPAI Gold Pyramid Award for Social Responsibility.
Since 2007, we've been recognized locally in the community as The Apex Chamber of Commerce as the 2015 Small Business of the Year. In 2016 inaugural year of the Town of Apex Think Apex awards, we were awarded a Top Thinker Award. This program was designed to acknowledge businesses & individuals that champion the local community.
Pursuing a legacy of excellence & merit has earned us four nationally recognized awards, including coveted PPAI Silver Pyramid and Gold Pyramid Awards for our marketing, advertising & graphic design work.
We resolve to maintain certifications & membership that add value to our partnership:
At a local level we’re currently an advocate and voice in Southwest Wake County as a member of the Apex, Holly Springs and Fuquay-Varina Chambers of Commerce.
Our company is designated through local municipality certifications and NC HUB as a certified woman-owned business.
My company remains committed to high standards at the state and national level. Our advertising specialty industry provides training, as well as codes of conduct for safety and ethical business practices. Collectively, our team has earned and maintained nine knowledge, safety and ethics certifications: including the highest level of mastery offered by two national organizations since 2007.
As our creative founder, I remain intentional with my time and talents, investing in projects that make a difference. Paying forward means freely sharing insights & expertise with our partners and as a mentor. As a former educator, mentoring & empowering youth remains a central part of our partner experience, hosting twenty-one high school or college interns since 2007. As well as sharing industry knowledge through publications, panels and public speaking. Intentionally present as leader, mentor and volunteer, over past eighteen years to support local non-profits, civic organizations, chambers of commerce, a local merchant’s association and youth.
Basically, I believe in the power of community.
This energy is the fuel behind our company, driving visionary assurance, united purpose.
After nearly two decades in business, I'm relying on my ever curious mind and youthful spirit to inspire us as we embark on the next two chapters of Promotional Partners journey towards our 2007 vicennial celebration. Â Thank you for your support & friendship!
Be fearless, be you!
