Bullpen Marketing Celebrates Ten Years in Promotional Products Industry

Growing firm expands offerings to include marketing services

HOUSTON (April 15, 2007) - Bullpen Marketing, a marketing firm specializing in promotional products strategy and a wide range of marketing services, celebrated its tenth anniversary this month. Since 1997, Bullpen has serviced the needs of marketers and promoters in their quest for the perfect logo-printed promotional tools. Its success has allowed the firm to broaden its offerings to include turnkey marketing services.

"What began as my frustrating search for logo-printed coasters turned into a full-time business," said Colin Hageney, president of Bullpen Marketing. "The original intent was to sell promotional products, from stress toys shaped like rubber ducks to thousand-dollar cufflinks. However, clients demanded more comprehensive services, and Bullpen evolved into a trusted advisor."

Bullpen continues to design and distribute the latest in promotional products. Its expanded marketing services include promotional products strategy, branding, online marketing, Web site design, search engine optimization, and more.

More than 1300 local and national companies have partnered with Bullpen for their promotional product strategy, including many in the Fortune 500. In addition, the American Marketing Association awarded Bullpen nine Crystal Awards in the last five years for excellence in marketing.

Bullpen believes in giving back to its community. It donates a percentage of its services to charities and non-profit organizations in the Houston area. It also aids educational organizations with its Tools 4 Schools project, which helps schools increase student enrollment and achieve their marketing goals.

"We look forward to the next ten years as we continue to broaden our services," said Hageney. "In fact, we are introducing Promo Green™ products this year for those companies seeking to incorporate environmentally friendly promotional products into their marketing campaigns."
