Prior to joining Innovative, Augustine spent almost five years at ACS Affiliate Services, most recently as director of business development. Before that, he spent 13 years at ADG Promotional Products (asi/97270) in various sales and business development positions.

In his new role at Innovative, Augustine will partner with the company’s sales team and clients to expand promotional products and merch opportunities across existing customer relationships.

“What excites me most is helping clients discover the full value of partnering with Innovative,” said Augustine. “Branded merchandise isn’t a separate conversation; it’s another way we help organizations strengthen their brands. When clients can source through one trusted partner, the experience is simpler, more strategic and ultimately more valuable.”

According to Innovative, Augustine brings a collaborative approach to category strategy, vendor relationships and client solutions. His experience on both the supplier and distributor side of the industry will help inform his ability to develop the frameworks that drive promotional products growth while delivering impactful brand messaging for end-user clients, the firm added.

Founded in 2001 by Jennifer Smith, Innovative’s portfolio includes office products, furniture and design services, facility and breakroom supplies, print and graphic design, promotional products and technology solutions. It’s part of the Facilisgroup network.
