Getting to Know Captiv8

I am currently interning at Captiv8 Promotions. Captiv8 Promotions is a public company located in Midtown Manhattan. We occupy the entire fifth floor of building. It’s an open, spacious loft with hard wood floors, a kitchen and bathrooms in the back, and a large glass conference room. The conference room is filled with all of the final products that Captiv8 has produced. Captiv8 Prmotions’ clients span from beauty, fashion, corporate, food and beverage, hats media, schools, sports, and travel.

 

“Captiv8 has grown to become an industry leader in the field of logo merchandise and promotional products. We also have leadership experience in creating events. Our clients include Fortune 500 companies, marketing agencies, media organizations, and sports and entertainment properties. We work with clients from a wide range of industries including automotive, media, financial services, telecommunications, CPG, beverage, and fashion. We also design and source products for the retail and resort industry. The strategy for all of our clients remains the same – provide a quality product that is relevant and meaningful for the end customer.”

You see as I’ve learned from the two current graphic designers there (and later on from experience), it is vital to not only give the clients what they are asking for, but to do it in the best way possible. Give them more – give them something different. Juan and Michael aren’t the only ones with this attitude. In fact, it all began with Larry Shapiro, the founder of Captiv8. “In 1993, Captiv8 Promotions owner Larry Shapiro began knocking on the doors of bars and restaurants in New York City. His goal was to sell them custom baseball caps with their name and logo … His goal was, and still is, to provide creative and quality products at a fair price, while maintaining the best possible customer service.”
