The Promotional Sampling Team

Bruce Robinson

Bruce is in the prime of a rich and varied career. Trained as an accountant, he practised for 11 years, specialising for a while in Real Estate accounting. In 1980 he moved into Sales and Marketing, quickly climbing to General Manager of Salmat Direct Marketing's product sampling division. He remained there until 1988 when he and colleague Michael Harrington went into a joint venture with D'arcy Masius Benton and Bowles, New York. That venture was Promotional Sampling and Bruce has spent the last 20 years putting heart and soul into building it up to the formidable enterprise it is today.

Michael Harrington

After completing his Business Degree and being involved in consumer goods marketing, Michael followed his interests in direct and promotional marketing. This would see him set up with fellow partner Bruce in 1988, Promotional Sampling, which initially offered 4 distinctive sampling services. After 20 years the growth of Promotional Sampling has been phenomenal now with 14 different sampling services and over 5,000 individual brand campaigns completed. The key to the success of Promotional Sampling then, as is now in 2007, is listening to its clients and responding with programs that will serve the brands and consumers best. "Seeing is believing" and "Trying is buying" have been the hallmarks of these campaigns in achieving specific sampling solutions for its clients.
