Jim Southwick, President/CEO

Back in November of 1982, Southwick Specialty Advertising was nothing more than an idea of Jim Southwick and his wife, Marilyn. Today it is one of the leading specialty advertising/promotional product companies on the West Coast, which is a testament to the dedication and drive of both Jim and Marilyn.

Over the past 25 years, Jim has seen many changes in the industry.

"The most notable change," he says, " . . . in the sophistication of the customers or buyers in a now global economy. More educated and tech savvy, these men and women are causing the industry to evolve to meet greater needs and demands in less time. Southwick Specialty Advertising's success is dependent on our ability to adapt and meet those needs."
