CHICAGO, IL (May 26, 2026) — Concord Marketing Solutions has been ranked #19 among distributors on the 2026 PPAI 100, the promotional products industry’s most prestigious annual ranking. The recognition from PPAI (Promotional Products Association International) evaluates companies on growth, employee development, corporate responsibility, technology practices, and overall industry leadership.
The ranking is Concord’s first major industry recognition following its combination with Clayton Kendall, and it reflects the strength of the newly unified organization’s Chicago and Pittsburgh teams.
“A year ago, we were two separate companies coming together as one,” said Brad Moore, CEO of Concord Marketing Solutions. “Landing at #19 on the PPAI 100 reflects the energy and conviction that our team feels as we show up for our clients every day and build together towards our future.”
The ranking arrives as Concord Marketing Solutions and Clayton Kendall continue integrating operations across offices, systems, and client programs. Landing inside the top 20 distributors nationally signals that the combined business is recognized among the leaders in the industry.
“We are thrilled with this important recognition as a sign of progress and momentum,” Moore said. It reflects the incredible team we have serving our clients and working closely with our industry partners. “And we’re just getting started.”
