There’s nothing worse than swag with no swagger.
If you want work that gets worn, make it worth the wear.
You’ve been there. Walking out of a trade show with tons of merch on your hands from vendors you can’t remember, looking for the next bin to chuck it all away.
We can’t blame you for not wanting to sport that new two-tone pen at your next meeting. Because as much as 23% of all company swag gets thrown away immediately. (Dumpster-diving after a tradeshow will stock up your pen drawer for life).
So should the swag stop altogether? We say: swag better. To own the merch game you need to give away something worth proudly owning. That’s why we create promotional items for brands that scream “two please!”

Change campus culture in style.
Swag that makes a statement—spreading the anti-hustle movement across campuses. Merch was handed out at 12 universities across Colorado.
No college student would turn down a free t-shirt. Or hat. Or tote bag. Especially when it has a message they can stand behind.
With our Time to Ungrind activation kits, we gave colleges the supplies—and the swag—to bring the anti-hustle movement to their campuses with flair.
But this wasn’t just another pile of branded merch. Each kit included paint, markers, and stencils designed to let students remix upcycled clothing into something uniquely theirs. The results? A mix of tie-dye, thrifted graphic tees, bold solids, and reworked designs that turned secondhand finds into first-rate statements. See the rest of the work here.
Create promotions with purpose.
Merch that’s as tough as Cat machines—turning customers into walking ads for Cat’s online parts service wherever they go.
The only thing more recognizable than a Cat machine? Cat merchandise. So when we needed to launch a campaign about the newest way to purchase parts on the go, we created branded items customers could take with them.
From coffee mugs, to notebooks, phone cases, t-shirts, stickers and more, we designed merchandise customers could actually use on the job as a walking promotion for Cat’s online parts service.
Design swag stakeholders will want to keep.
We created swag so irresistible—tote bags, power banks, tumblers—that QSR customers couldn’t get enough.
Creating swag even a stakeholder would want is a tall order. Luckily for QSR, tall orders are their specialty.
We created merchandise with designs so delicious, they made it out of the stakeholders meeting and into the hands of QSR customers.
