About us

As legend has it, our co-founders were swapping stories about the promotional products industry one night over flame-kissed meat and a few cocktails. During their conversation, they realized that they had attended just about every size, shape, and type of networking event. While all had their merit, there was also a degree of what they called "suckage." You know, the part of the event that felt tacked on, predictable, or even flat-out boring.

They knew there had to be a better way...and PromoCations was born.

As the continued the conversation they asked a simple question: Wouldn't it be far more productive for suppliers and distributors to network in a more natural, organic, and casual environment? Of course the answer is yes which is why they created:

PromoCruise - No reason to be in some stuffy hotel you've been to a dozen times when you can have REAL conversations while you cruise the Caribbean!
PromoQue - Who wants to eat at the same restaurant for the tenth time when you can sit around a campfire while enjoying hickory smoked chicken or brisket?
PromoBeach - If sand, waves, and tiki drinks don't foster more meaningful discussions, we don't know what will!
PromoCamp - The birds singing, the creek flowing, the campfire crackling, and the swag slinging in all of Earth's glory!

So, there you have it - an 83% accurate story of PromoCations' origins. To get the remaining 17%, you'll need to ask them on a PromoCation.

Bill is the co-founder and managing partner of brandivate, a full service marketing, branding, and media agency. But, you don't read bios for this boring crap - let's ask him the hard questions:!

How long have you been slinging swag?

Does it make me old if I say over two decades?

Preferred toppings on a hamburger?

Cheese (government is fine, pepper jack is better), smoked pepper mayo, shredded lettuce, red onion. Nothing more is necessary.

The worst movie you've ever seen?

The Godfather. I've tried to make it through about five times and always bail out. I'm sorry folks, it's overrated and just not good.

Describe your perfect weekend?

My family, good friends, smoking meat on the Back Forty (my backyard oasis) with an old fashioned in my hand.

If you weren't in promo, what would you be doing?

I'd like to think I'd be broadcasting somewhere - maybe calling games on ESPN. Either that or a roadie for the Mighty Van Halen.

Best concert venue?

The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville - not even a contest.

In-N-Out or Whataburger?

If you need a secret menu that's not really secret to get people in the door, your shit is broken. I'll take a Dr. Pepper shake and Whataburger for the win!

Favorite PromoCations destination?

It's got to be the PromoCruise and wherever she may sail on that trip. Nothing better than networking on the water as you float the stress away!
