Counselor’s exclusive ranking of the distributors with the most revenue in the promo products market.
Something Inked
(asi/329822)
This Nashville, TN-based distributor cracks the Top 40 for the first time. SomethingInked was formerly an affiliate of Top 40 firms AIA Corporation (asi/109480) and iPROMOTEu (asi/232119), but became independent in 2019. The company grew annual sales 48.1% in 2021, while running a profit margin of 31%. “The return of live and in-person events in sports and entertainment were key factors in our growth,” says Bill Feldberg, executive vice president of business development.
Indeed, sports, entertainment and destinations are among the top markets into which SomethingInked sells. NBA, MLB and NHL teams are on the company’s client roster, as are major players in entertainment like Live Nation and Universal Music Group. With services like web design and branding/logo design to build on its core merch-driven solutions, SomethingInked executives say the firm is poised to capitalize on increasing opportunities in its top end-markets.
