TREVOSE, PA \u2013 January 23, 2012 <\/strong>\u2013 Sourcing City today announced it has formed a strategic alliance with the Advertising Specialty Institute (ASI), the largest media, marketing and education organization serving the $18.4 billion promotional products industry in North America.<\/p>\n

The two companies will work closely together to identify and introduce best practices and market development concepts benefiting the U.S. and U.K. markets.<\/p>\n

Sourcing City and ASI created a three-year, multi-point strategic plan, with various elements to be rolled out over the next year.<\/p>\n

To start, supplier members will be able to exhibit at both ASI and Sourcing City trade shows. In addition, a U.K. representative will soon begin serving on ASI\u2019s Supplier Global Resource advisory board. And ASI magazines such as Counselor<\/em> and Advantages<\/em> will now also publish stories featuring prominent U.K. suppliers and distributors.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very excited to be involved with ASI on such a close level,\u201d said Alistair Mylchreest, CEO of Sourcing City. \u201cIn particular, we want to help professional distributors and suppliers grow their per capita spend in the U.K. market, and we are certain joining forces with a U.S.-based powerhouse like ASI is one great way to accomplish that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cASI is delighted to align with Sourcing City, and we believe we can help members on both sides of the pond form lasting, mutually beneficial relationships,\u201d said Timothy M. Andrews, president and chief executive officer of ASI. \u201cWe benefited greatly from being invited to the Sourcing City Marketplace event and look forward to fostering an even greater understanding of customer relations and the needs of distributor partners in both regions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sourcing City and ASI will announce further developments as the strategic alliance and joint projects develop.<\/p>\n
