I’m Barbara Hobart, Welcome
Helping You Create Kickass Branded Merch That Turns Connection Into Clients.

For over 2 decades, I've helped businesses and brands turn their promotional products, branded merchandise, and SWAG into tools that actually work--to boost brand awareness, attract clients, and drive revenue.
But not in the traditional way...
Because I don't slap logos on products. I help you:
Whether it's a standout giveaway, a thank-you gift that means something, or a product that builds your retail brand, let's create kickass branded merch that puts your brand in your clients' hands-and keeps it there.

Your brand isn't a logo. It's a feeling.
Let's create kickass merch that makes your clients remember you- because of how you made them feel.
So... how do you want your clients to feel when they think of you?
Ask yourself: If you were a hotel, what type would it be?
Disney
The Four Seasons
Comfort Inn
When you book a stay at one of these hotels, you know exactly what kind of experience you’re in for—before you ever show up.
Each brand communicates how you’ll feel—that’s the power of a brand that feels like something.
Your brand should do the same. To truly connect with your audience:
What’s the one word you want people to associate with your business?
What kind of experience are you creating?
Because branding isn’t only about what you sell. It’s about what your clients remember—and how you made them feel.
Book a complimentary 15-Minute Discovery Call and I’ll learn about your company and what you want to achieve.
We’ll discuss the products that fit your brand and your budget.
Discover the amazing, kickass products you can create, branded with your logo, message, and colors
When you select the product you want to make, we’ll start the design and production process and in no time, your product will be ready to put in the hands of your clients.
