The theme for events this quarter is Sales and Marketing strategies. For our first speaker in this series we invited NAWBO member Sam Brown, Marketing Director of BrandVia to speak at this month’s dinner meeting.

She is all about passion and encouraging people to live life out on a limb; she is both engaging and entertaining as she moves ahead with her mission to rid the world of trinkets and trash and encourage people to create entertaining and engaging swag that leaves an impact of the minds of those who matter.

She will share some samples of successful projects as well as a few epic fails as she reviews THE only 6 things you need to know to build an effective promotion. With this insight you will never waste your money again on ineffective promotions.

Speaker/Presenter(s):

Samantha Brown (Sam) built a recognized personal and corporate brand in the marketplace – Having recently relocated to the sunny state of California with the sale of her distributorship in the Summer of 2015– her passion for the Industry just can’t be quashed. Since her first foray in speaking to colleagues at the Promotional Products Canadian Conference in January of 2015, she’s worked with leaders in Marketing and Advertising to raise the energy in the Industry, and most recently been invited to share Innovation in Swag at the Canadian Professional Convention and Meeting Planners’ National Innovation Conference.

Sam has been recognized with two national Image Awards, is a recipient of the top 40 Under and in January of this year was awarded the Momentum Award recognizing future leaders of the Industry by the Promotional Product Professionals of Canada.

She brings her passion and perspective to the future of the advertising market as she looks to spread enthusiasm and engagement with the key players on all sides–her fellow sales people, Industry Associations on both sides of the border, and of course end-users such as yourselves and your clients.

Sam is all about passion and encouraging people to live life out on a limb; she is both engaging and entertaining as she moves ahead with her mission to rid the world of trinkets and trash and encourage people to create entertaining and engaging swag that leaves an impact of the minds of those who matter.

Sam will share some samples of successful projects as well as a few epic fails as she reviews THE only 6 things you need to know to build an effective promotion. The audience will never waste their money again.
