Marisa Bonardi-Mattessich is bringing her two decades of promo products experience to Blank2Branded (asi/141113).

Bonardi-Mattessich has joined the Montville, NJ-headquartered distributorship as vice president of sales, a role in which she’ll help spearhead revenue-generating efforts for the firm whose clients have included household-name retailers like Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s.

“Marisa brings the care factor front and center,” said Marcia Tarnoff, founder and CEO of Blank2Branded. “Her passion for how she delivers on the promises she makes, along with the trust and integrity woven into the relationships she has built with her vendor partners and clients, is exactly why she was the perfect fit to take on this position.”

Prior to joining Blank2Branded, Bonardi-Mattessich spent nearly 13 years with Glazer Promos (asi/208261), a New Jersey-based distributorship that New Hampshire-headquartered PromoCentric (asi/300644) acquired in the spring of 2024. Bonardi-Mattessich was a sales manager at Glazer.

Prior to that role, she spent about four years as an account manager at Progressive Promotions, working with clients that included The Vitamin Shoppe, Ogilvy, Ketchum, Aetna, Robert Half International and Verizon. Progressive was acquired in 2021 and rebranded in early 2024 as Dryvve (asi/154912).

Bonardi-Mattessich had previously worked with Tarnoff and Blank2Branded President Katie Bauer, making the woman-owned and -operated distributorship an attractive destination to continue her career, she said. Outside work, Bonardi-Mattessich enjoys cooking and caring for her cats – both activities, she said, that require care and diligence that inform her considerate, focused approach to her job.

“Marisa’s outstanding commitment to her clients and exceptional eye for trends have built her a reputation for delivering creative solutions that align with her clients’ branding goals year after year,” said Tarnoff. “We’re thrilled to have her aboard.”
