Something we have always enjoyed on the skucast is bringing fresh voices, particularly emerging voices who are new to the industry and who are doing great work and have incredible potential. Ethan Dowie is the customer-obsessed CEO of Indigo Promotions, a top branded merchandise distributorship located in New York. Ethan’s 25 years old, with a passion for building businesses, his goal is to create the most innovative and successful distributorship in the world, one that puts the needs of its clients first.
Ethan is relentless. He heard our podcast episode with Jeremy Parker, the co-founder and CEO at swag.com, and Jeremy made time to chat with the ambitious entrepreneur. Then Ethan reached out to me via LinkedIn, just to say that he appreciated the podcast. I immediately detected something pretty sharp about Ethan and invited him to join us on the podcast, we talk about:
How he arrived in the industry
How he views the business and working with clients
And how he sees the promotional products medium itself and its place in the client’s mindset.
Plus, his obsession with strategy games and how it dovetails into business.
