TEAM

IT’S A TEAM EFFORT

PromarkBRANDS also takes great pride in its people. It’s a team effort, which is why we refer to our people not as staff or employees but as a team. We’re all consummate professionals. More to the point, this team of professionals is what makes PromarkBRANDS a very easy company to do business with. Our customer service team is comprised of avid photographers and videographers, along with former professional photographers and independent filmmakers, all of whom are very well versed in how to use our products. They are willing to spend as much time as necessary working with you to solve any problem that may arise, either technically or from an order-processing standpoint. And they’re in-house. That means that we won’t direct your call halfway around the globe if you have a problem.

WE WANT YOU TO STAY IN TOUCH

In addition, PromarkBRANDS has expanded its marketing efforts by reaching out through social media. And toward that end, the company has added a social media coordinator to the team. PromarkBRANDS, either as the parent company or its constituent brands, is now active on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram. In addition, we’ll feature a YouTube channel to introduce numerous product tutorials and testimonials. Social media provides a forum for PromarkBRANDS, you, and your customers to stay in touch. As we like to say, “You stay in touch and we’ll stay in touch.”
