Company Profile

What type of company is TaylorMade Promotionz?
TaylorMade Promotionz Inc. is an event based promotional company that works with the community to create awareness and revenue for charitable and non profit organizations for children. Our clients deal with issues of child safety and promote the preventative measures parents can take to educate their children about dangers they face in today’s society.


What does your company do?
We essentially provide an alternative to traditional marketing like T.V., Radio, Print or Big Box Retailers. Our responsibility is to create marketing strategies that target all of the business in the Greater Chicago area. We have a strategy that allows us to create a word of mouth buzz by taking key features of our clients product or message directly to local businesses. We literally have the potential to get 100% exposure to a particular product or service. For well known brands like Disney or Liz Claiborne this approach is ideal for launching products in new categories. Lesser known brands benefit from the exposure this type a strategy creates to gain market share for the products in their core business.

Why are we looking for people?
The success of our approach has lead to some our top brands to pressure us to expand the program. For the rest of 2007 we have a 2 part strategy for expansion. The first is geographical. The second is divisionally. The supplier has chosen us to be the marketing arm to launch their brands. We are creating divisions in each market specifically to handle the expansion program.

What are we looking for in a candidate?
The biggest challenge for our company right now is finding the right candidate. Although we have had an overwhelming response to our recruitment efforts, not everyone is cut out for this type of program. Because of the out of the box thinking that is necessary in this industry, previous management, marketing or sales does not necessarily translate to more value for our organization. We typically focus on key characteristics.

1) People Skills. A candidate who is comfortable dealing with people in a marketing, sales or leadership capacity is ideal.

2) Willingness to learn. Our business is a learned industry, results driven and competitive environment. Very few people join our organization with all the skills necessary to succeed in this industry. It is crucial that our candidates learn and develop new skills quickly.

3) Ambition. We are looking for someone who wants more than a weekly paycheck.

4) Responsible and Accountable.
 We are looking for candidates that continue to make a commitment for excellence personally as well professionally. We pride ourselves that we only promote within.
