Power 50 2020: No. 3 Marc Simon, HALO Branded Solutions
Welcome to the 2020 Power 50 list, which ranks the most influential people in the industry.
3. Marc Simon
HALO Branded Solutions (asi/356000)
2019 Rank: 2
Title: CEO
Industry Experience: 19 years
HALO’s aggressive M&A push continues to reverberate in the industry, with January’s purchase of Top 40 distributor Axis Promotions just the latest example. That can most certainly be attributed to Simon, whose leadership and strategic execution has fueled a slew of successful acquisitions and integrations of prominent industry firms in recent years. Helming promo’s second-largest distributor, Counselor’s 2019 Person of the Year keeps HALO at the forefront of changing marketplace dynamics, in which he says large end-clients will increasingly demand complementary services and solutions that go beyond promotional products.
