Strategic Marketing and Consultation
PPW offers clients a full range of first class, in-house services that allows enhanced Total Quality Management. Each of the account management functions acts as an autonomous unit to allow implementation and execution of global initiatives into regional markets.
Account Service
The Promotional Partners teams are committed to provide our clients with the most cost effective, imaginative and result-driven campaigns in the world. Our teams' expertise lies in strategic marketing and consultation, creative concept and development, property identification and negotiation, premium sourcing, program management and evaluation.
Creative & Design
PPW has strong in-house design departments, which can offer both creative treatments of licensed properties and a host of original characters. Our designers not only produce drawings according to each client's specific needs, but they are also capable of incorporating the right product features that will make the items attractive yet mass-production-friendly.
Fully staffed and equipped studios are located in the Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Beijing, Manila, Bangkok and Los Angeles offices. Therefore, innovative ideas are generated internationally. This sharing of resources creates a synergy that proves to be one of Promotional Partners' major strengths.
Program Management & Evaluation
PPW evaluates programs based on client promotional objectives. We compile reports based on key learning for future programs to continue to strive for execution excellence.
Engineering
The engineering team at PPW has the ability to adapt new and existing ideas to meet clients' unique requirements. Moreover, we can develop proprietary designs, clay models, and tooling in-house. PPW is committed to learn and adapt the latest technology in production methods and processes.
Manufacturing
One important feature that makes us special from other agencies is that we operate our own factory, and it is no ordinary factory. To ensure the highest standards in quality and ethical business practices, PPW has invested in an ISO-certified manufacturing plant situated in Dongguan, China. Through this facility, PPW is able to service all facets of promotional merchandising requirements in-house ranging from initial concept and design, all the way to engineering, development, tooling and production.
Sourcing
Sourcing the right premium for a campaign goes a lot further than searching through a trade directory to find the cheapest or quickest supplier. With a strong international merchandising team and ample sourcing experience in a diverse product range, PPW can find exactly what you need - which includes product development, manufacturing, and delivering the merchandise.
To assure our clients' requirements are met, in-house vendor audit programs are utilized. Purchase orders only are issued to factories that pass our audit inspection criteria.
