New Year, New Roles

It is with great pride and excitement that I write this month's president's note. Some of you may have recently read the press announcement of my promotion to president and publishing director of the Promo Marketing Media Group. I have had such an incredible journey over the last 8 years with each and every distributor and supplier company I have met, talked to and worked with, and I am here to let you know I won't be leaving you.

While I will still participate in the direction and growth of the publication, I am passing the reins of content creation and oversight to the very capable and industry-savvy Elise Hacking Carr, who will be stepping into the executive editor role. Starting in January, each month she will be joining us here to pass along her objective reports, knowledge and views on industry happenings. Please join me in welcoming her.

We have many exciting changes coming up at Print+Promo—video integration and augmented reality to name a couple. In my new role, I will continue to develop and launch new products and services to help you grow your businesses, and I look forward even more to hearing from you about your goals and how Print+Promo can help you reach them.

And yes, I will continue to write for the publication each month as well. I will have to ask Elise where that content will live.

Thank you for all of your support over the years, and I look forward to many more.

Happy New Year!
