Building Relationships That Help Distributors Grow
At Midwood Marketing, we believe the best partnerships are built on trust, experience, and a shared drive to win. Our mission is simple: help distributors differentiate, uncover new opportunities, and deliver promotional products people will actually use and keep.
More Than Products. It’s About Partnerships.
I grew up in the imprinted apparel industry. My father still likes to tell people that, until I was 14 years old, I thought “irregular” was a name brand.
Some of my earliest memories include riding his rolling garment racks down the driveway and helping market NASCAR caps alongside my mother’s product lines. Printed products weren’t simply the family business—they were part of everyday life.
Those early experiences taught me that this industry is about much more than putting a logo on a product. It is about relationships, creativity, problem-solving, and finding the right product to help a customer stand apart.
Eventually, I started my own independent manufacturers’ representative group and built Midwood Marketing around one guiding principle: differentiate. We intentionally represent a curated group of manufacturers, each with a unique strength and products people will genuinely use, appreciate, and keep.
After decades in the industry, I’m still learning. Every customer, supplier, project, and challenge brings a new lesson—and that is one of the things I continue to love most about this business.
Today, our goal is the same as it has always been: to build lasting relationships, uncover new opportunities, and help our distributor partners win more business.
"When distributors succeed, our supplier partners succeed—and so do we."
Our Philosophy: Differentiate
The promotional products industry is built on relationships. Behind every successful apparel program, online store, custom project, employee gift, or promotional campaign is a team of people working together to make it happen.
At Midwood Marketing, we don’t try to represent dozens of suppliers. We have intentionally built a curated portfolio of manufacturers, each offering a true point of difference—whether it’s better design, unique decoration, faster production, stronger value, or products people will genuinely use and keep.
Our goal is not simply to show you more products. It is to become a trusted extension of your business—helping you uncover new opportunities, select the right products, align pricing and timing, and successfully manage each project from concept through completion.
Experienced. Responsive. Invested.
We work alongside you every step of the way to ensure your projects move smoothly from initial quotes through delivery.
Jason Snead
Founder & Principal
Jason comes from a legacy of sales professionals in the imprinted products industry. His father and uncle had been to the 'Fruit of the Loom' school of apparel marketing before his mother picked up the torch and won the apparel business of the NASCAR community.
In 1996, he embarked on an entrepreneurial journey, moving to Atlanta to launch an apparel venture rooted in the opportunity of the Olympic Games. After gaining invaluable experience and early wins, he returned to NC State to complete his degree, laying the foundation for a career dedicated to impactful marketing.
At Midwood Marketing, Jason partners with customers to deliver branded solutions that resonate with employees and audiences alike. His focus? Creating high-value, meaningful products that don’t simply get noticed—they drive lasting impressions for your brand.
Our guiding principle at Midwood is simple: DIFFERENTIATE. We empower your business to stand out through strategic, high-impact products that spark loyalty and growth. While we offer competitive pricing, Jason’s philosophy is clear: 'We aim to win every race—but often avoid the race to the bottom when it comes to pricing.'
