Branded Merch Network has announced the creation of Roadside Attractions, a new educational video series produced exclusively for PromoEQP and featuring longtime industry leader Rod Brown.
Designed to celebrate the people, principles and relationships that have shaped the branded merchandise industry, the five-part series combines personal stories, practical business insights and authentic conversations that help today’s promotional products professionals learn from decades of real-world experience.
Rather than traditional sales training, Roadside Attractions offers thoughtful discussions centered on leadership, decision-making, mentorship and the defining moments that shape successful careers. The series is designed to inspire both seasoned professionals and the next generation entering the promotional products, print and apparel decoration industries.
Roadside Attractions Series Highlights
- Five-part educational video series featuring industry veteran Rod Brown.
- Exclusive debut through PromoEQP before expanding to the broader branded merchandise community.
- Live “Workshop Hours” accompanying each episode, allowing PromoEQP members to discuss key lessons with Brown.
- Focus on leadership, relationships and business growth rather than traditional sales training.
- Created and produced by Branded Merch Network to educate professionals across the promotional products, print and apparel decoration industries.
The series will premiere throughout the summer and fall on PromoEQP’s digital channels, with Episode One scheduled for release in August. As an exclusive benefit for PromoEQP members, each episode will debut first through the organization’s platform and include live “Workshop Hours” with Brown, giving participants the opportunity to discuss the ideas, lessons and experiences featured in each conversation.
Approximately 30 days after each exclusive release, episodes will become available through Branded Merch Network, extending the educational content to the broader promotional products, print and apparel decoration communities.
“I’ve been fortunate to spend a lifetime learning from remarkable people in this industry,” said Rod Brown. “Roadside Attractions is my way of passing a few of those lessons along and hopefully helping someone else enjoy the journey just a little bit more.”
Jeremy Chacon of PromoEQP said the series reflects the organization’s commitment to supporting independent distributors through meaningful education and professional development.
“Every industry has people whose influence reaches far beyond their own business,” said Chacon. “Rod is one of those people. His willingness to share what he’s learned, invest time and resources in others, and spark connections and conversations is exactly what we believe is best about this industry. This is an important moment in the market, and we’re excited to play our part in supporting a conversation Rod is brave enough to start.”
