Fargo, North Dakota-headquartered distributor S&S Promotional Group (PPAI 108258) announced a merger with Sampson-Miller Advertising, based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

“The addition of Sampson-Miller Advertising expands our portfolio and enables us to realize exciting new opportunities in a vibrant business market,” says Brad Ness, MAS, president of S&S Promotional Group. “The synergies between us will provide clients with a higher level of service, and advance support and opportunities to our sales consultants in the region.”

Sampson-Miller, a third-generation family business, has served a wide range of clients throughout the upper Midwest for nearly 90 years. Its owner, Paul Miller, will serve as the regional vice president of sales for the Minnesota Region for S&S Promotional Group. Miller will manage recruitment and training for the Minnesota region, while continuing to service clients in the area. He says, ““From the time my grandfather founded our company in 1931, we’ve built a business dedicated to quality customer service. We’re confident that this merger allows us to carry on that customer first tradition well into the future.”

S&S Promotional Group has been headquartered in Fargo since 1979, with additional regional offices located in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, and Grand Forks, North Dakota, and now the Twin Cities. Effective June 1, all Sampson-Miller orders will be processed through S&S Promotional Group.
