Executive Advertising Named a PPAI Greatest Company to Work For 2026

Hendersonville, TN [August 26, 2026] — Executive Advertising has been named one of PPAI’s Greatest Companies to Work For in 2026, recognizing the company for a workplace culture built on trust, collaboration, flexibility and a genuine investment in its people.

The annual recognition from Promotional Products Association International (PPAI) is based on direct employee feedback across key areas of the workplace experience, including leadership, communication, benefits, professional development and overall company culture.

For Executive Advertising, the recognition is particularly meaningful because it reflects what team members say about the company themselves. Employee feedback highlighted the company's greatest strengths as the following:

• A comfortable work/life balance
• Confidence in leadership
• A workplace where employees feel trusted to do their jobs
• Encouragement to bring forward new ideas
• Support as they grow in their careers

That culture has also helped create something increasingly rare: a team where many employees have chosen to build long-term careers. Team members described Executive Advertising as a place where coworkers genuinely support one another, leadership cares about employees as people, and individuals have the freedom and resources to make meaningful contributions.

“Being named one of PPAI’s Greatest Companies to Work For means so much because this recognition comes directly from the experiences of our team,” said Stewart Switzer, CEO. “We want Executive Advertising to be a place where talented people can do great work, have a voice, continue to grow and still have the flexibility to have a life outside of work. We’re incredibly proud of the culture our team has built together, and we don’t take for granted that people choose to build their careers here.”

Employees’ comments reinforced that sense of ownership. Across the survey, team members spoke about having the independence to approach their work in ways that play to their strengths, the ability to contribute creative ideas and improve processes, and the support to grow both professionally and personally. Just as importantly, employees repeatedly pointed to the people around them—from coworkers willing to step in and help to leaders who support employees through challenges both inside and outside the workplace.

Drew Holmgreen, PPAI president and CEO, added, “Each of these companies demonstrates what it looks like to prioritize people. When employees feel valued and supported, the impact reaches every level of business and extends across the industry”.

For Executive Advertising, the honor is both a celebration of the culture the team has created and motivation to continue strengthening it as the company grows.
