Issue #20

Welcome to Merch Makers Monthly! This month, we welcome a new team member to our USA crew, hit the show floor at the biggest merch event of the year, and celebrate our Changemaker award. Read on! 

Genumark is proud to be named a Fill it Forward 2025 Changemaker!
 

Through our close partnership with Fill it Forward, we actively introduce clients to products and programs that reduce waste, give back to communities, and tell a bigger story than a logo ever could.  


This innovative platform transforms reusable products into impact drivers: every time a reusable bottle, cup, bag, or tag is scanned, it unlocks charitable giving and tracks real-world environmental benefits.

That’s a wrap on PPAI Expo 2026, the biggest branded merch event of the year! Team Genumark was on the show floor getting a hands-on look at what is new, trending, and sustainable in merch for the year ahead. As always, our Johanna Gottlieb shared what she found on Instagram, and you can see it all now! Simply head to our Instagram page and click on the “PPAI Expo 2026” saved stories in our profile.

Mark your calendars and get your RSVPs in for our 2026 slate of Branded Merch Meet-Ups! Our team is looking forward to seeing you at an event near you this year.

We are so excited to announce that Marti Tarmichael has joined us as Senior Account Director, strengthening our growing U.S. team and supporting continued expansion across the United States! 

With more than 20 years of experience in the branded merchandise industry, Marti brings a deep understanding of how merch can create meaningful, emotional connections between brands and their audiences. 
Known for building strong, trusted client relationships and delivering creative, strategic solutions, Marti embodies what we believe great promo should be: thoughtful, impactful, and memorable.
