Derek
Director
Founding owner of Promonotions with over 30 years experience in Marketing, Advertising and Sales promotion. Derek left an award winning sales career at Colgate Palmolive to head up business development at Avery label Australia before forming his own creative agency in 1988. Derek sold out of his agency ‘The Adcafe’ in the early 2000’s to concentrate on Promonotions and his passion for investing and developing on pack and near pack promotional products and campaigns. One of Derek’s inventions is the ‘Stunt Wheel’ concept which found its way into over a billion snack packs around the world. Derek believes in building business through building long term relationships with his clients and suppliers. He loves all things related to the water and one of his favourite pastimes is kayaking with his dog, Oscar where he can get away from it all.

Jess

Having graduated from UNSW with a Bachelor of Industrial Design degree, she now spends her days making 3D models and mock ups of just about anything. Occasionally you might see her zone out into a land of technical jibberish, but it’s only temporary. Just crank up the music, give her some candy, and she’ll be back to her usual self. Oh and she loves her mini lop bunny, Buttons.
