We staff programs large or small, from one to more than 100 people. We provide promotional ambassadors and specialists for programs that run from four hours to months at a time.
Our People Power Your Promotions!
No matter the event, we strive to provide not only the best brand representation available but the best brand experience imaginable.
Our Mission Statement
We are focused on providing outstanding, educated and talented individuals and teams who understand the significance of brand and image-building campaigns and initiatives. We work directly with companies and corporations, as well as their advertising, marketing, communications and public relations agencies. We have represented many of the world’s leading businesses in a wide variety of arenas. We are considered an extension of these companies’ staff. We never wish to promote ourselves. Instead, we rely on the successes our campaigns deliver to our clients and hope that our results provide reasons for our clients to brag about their positive experiences with our organization and team members.
Promotional Brand Ambassadors, inc. is committed to its clients and will always deliver the highest quality, results-oriented services, whether tangible or intangible. We are recognized not only as a leader in our industry, but we are also an innovator of services that go above and beyond our clients expectations. Our objective is to produce results that directly and positively impact our clients’ business purposes.
We believe in rewarding creativity, talent, professionalism, insight, teamwork and honesty. We do not make promises we cannot keep. And we strive to always deliver more than we promise our clients. With that said, we realize our services and teams are retained to execute some of the most difficult marketing campaigns ever developed. We will always treat an easy, one-person promotion the same way we execute a multi-location, large staff, and complex program, regardless of income earning potential. When we sign our names to an agreement for services, we realize we are extending our reputations to that client as well. We promise to achieve the most ambitious goals if properly identified. We also promise to stay focused and on point for our clients sake and benefit.
Finally, we believe in old-fashioned, conservative virtues. We will not promote or create a brand image that we feel betrays the values of society. If a product or service is deemed to be unfit, unhealthy or potentially harmful to our society, our company and its employees will respectfully decline to submit a bid to compete for the opportunity to market those products or services.
