Grossman Marketing Group has earned a place on the PPAI 2026 Greatest Companies to Work For list, recognizing its commitment to building a supportive, employee-focused workplace. This recognition reflects a company culture where people are encouraged to take ownership of their work, share ideas, develop professionally, and feel valued by the people around them.

For Grossman, creating a great workplace goes beyond daily responsibilities. It means building an environment where employees can grow, collaborate, contribute to meaningful projects and take pride in the company's impact on clients, communities and the environment.

What Is the PPAI Greatest Companies to Work For Award?

The PPAI Greatest Companies to Work For program recognizes promotional products distributors and suppliers that demonstrate a strong commitment to employee satisfaction and workplace culture. Promotional Products Association International (PPAI) selects honorees based on direct employee feedback about important aspects of the workplace, including leadership, communication, benefits, and professional development.

The company-wide evaluation gives employees an opportunity to share their experiences and perspectives, helping determine which organizations earn recognition. Rather than relying solely on company achievements or leadership perspectives, the program places employees' voices at the center of the evaluation.

Being included on the 2026 list is meaningful because it reflects the experiences of the people who contribute to the company's work every day.

What Makes Grossman Marketing Group a Great Place to Work?

At Grossman Marketing Group, workplace culture is built around trust, collaboration, accountability, and opportunities for growth. Employees are encouraged to take ownership of their responsibilities while knowing they have the support and flexibility needed to do their best work.

The company believes that strong relationships among colleagues, clients, and communities contribute to a positive working environment. Open communication, shared ideas, and a willingness to support one another help employees navigate challenges and accomplish common goals.

One employee described working at Grossman this way:

“Grossman Marketing Group is a family-oriented company that genuinely cares about its employees, clients, communities and the environment. People are trusted to manage their responsibilities, encouraged to share new ideas and given opportunities to grow. There are high expectations, but also flexibility, collaboration and a real appreciation for the work people do.

I'm especially proud that corporate responsibility and sustainability are part of how the company operates, not just something it talks about. From supporting nonprofit and community partners to earning EcoVadis Gold and helping organizations responsibly donate, recycle or repurpose obsolete merchandise through SwagCycle, the company is committed to using the business as a force for good. It's a place where you can do meaningful work with good people and feel proud of both what the company accomplishes and how it goes about accomplishing it.”

Why Employee Recognition Matters in the Promotional Products Industry?

We’re especially glad to see corporate responsibility in that description. The choices we make about community involvement and what happens to unused merchandise matter to the people doing the work. Being proud of your employer includes being comfortable with how it conducts business.

“Each of these companies demonstrates what it looks like to prioritize people,” said Drew Holmgreen, PPAI president and CEO. “When employees feel valued and supported, the impact reaches every level of business and extends across the industry.”

Thank you to PPAI for the recognition and to our employees for sharing their perspectives. You’re the ones solving problems for clients and helping colleagues through busy days. We’re grateful for the care you bring to both.
