WhY EMP MARKETS Differently
Day & Night.
The Very Same Day.
For over 20 years, Eric navigated the double life of the modern day side hustler — apparel designer by day and dancefloor curator as a DJ by night. Neither career dependent on the other — they simply existed together, each one quietly sharpening the other.
What emerged from that parallel was something unexpected: the creative process behind planning a DJ set and executing a design project are remarkably similar. Both demand vision, structure, flow, and a deep instinct for what moves your audience. That dual foundation is the heartbeat of every marketing strategy EMP builds.
Everyone Has Boxes.
Boxes of unsold inventory. Great ideas that never found their audience.
In this industry, everyone has boxes. Boxes of unsold inventory sitting in garages and storage units — products born from genuinely great ideas that just never found their audience. Eric watched it happen to his clients too many times. A great design, a perfect product, zero sales — and a creative entrepreneur who never tried again.
The idea was never the problem. The marketing was.
That realization is what brought marketing into the EMP mission. If the creative work we build together can actually reach its audience — we can do bigger projects, build better brands, and make sure no great idea ends up in a box.
Because great ideas deserve to be seen.
The EMP Advantage
Two decades of experience across three industries — all working for you.
20 Years in the Apparel Industry
Agents Build
Brands
An Industry That Values Swag
Two decades in apparel means understanding more than design — it means knowing vendors, production processes, and what makes merchandise actually move. That depth separates EMP from agencies that design merchandise but have never lived the business.
Insurance agents are personal brand builders — and personal brand builders need design, merchandise, and a marketing strategy. The client base and the agent community aren't always two different worlds. They're the same people wearing two different hats.
Swag is one of the most underestimated marketing tools in any industry. A well-designed piece of branded merchandise travels further and lasts longer than most digital ads ever will. Merchandise that actually gets worn makes all the difference.

More Than Merchandise.
Most people think merch is just something you sell. We think it's one of the most powerful tools in your marketing arsenal — whether it's generating revenue or generating relationships.
At EMP Creative Solutions, we approach merchandise marketing from two angles:
Promotional Merch — Build the Connection Branded giveaways and event merchandise designed to leave a lasting impression, capture contact leads, and keep your brand in front of your audience long after the event ends. The right piece in the right hands is worth more than any ad spend.
Revenue Merch — Build the Income From limited drops to full product lines, we help you develop, position, and launch merchandise that sells. Built on print-on-demand fulfillment workflows, your store runs lean while your brand runs deep.
What we offer:
— Branded promotional product strategy
— Event and tradeshow merch planning
— Lead capture integration with merch campaigns
— Print-on-demand setup and fulfillment (Printful, Shopify)
— Product line development and positioning
— Limited drop and launch strategies
— Merch campaign creative and design
Whether you're launching your first drop or scaling an existing line, we bring the same energy to your merch that we bring to every brand we touch.
