The company, which moved its headquarters in December 1998 from Buffalo, N.Y., to Sarasota, specializes in the imprinting and design of promotional products and corporate apparel to brand and market companies throughout the country.

“The economic, cultural, professional and quality-of-life aspects provided by the Sarasota-Manatee area and the state of Florida were a good fit for our growth plan,” founder Annette Gueli said. “Meeting Rodger Lively and clients of Bay South Media and Inspire Promotions back in 2001 gave us a jump start in the market a short 16 years ago.”
