Linda Miller Seder
President
Linda is an experienced brand marketer with a very different approach then most in the promotional products industry. Since 2004, she, like most people in the industry, had been selling promotional products. But when she realized that pushing catalogues, selling the ‘trendy’ item and giving the best price were NOT the key factors in elevating her client’s brand and meeting their marketing goals, she knew it was time to differentiate. Linda wanted to provide strategic & targeted marketing campaigns that would help DIFFERENTIATE her clients from their competition and give them the BEST RETURN ON THEIR INVESTMENT.
Another words, Linda no longer wanted to be an ‘order taker’ but wanted to be a ‘strategic solution provider.’
In 2010, Innovative Promotional Concepts was established with the goal of becoming a strategic marketing partner delivering measured results. With her business and management skills, along with the resources and collective experience of Innovative Promotional Concept’s team of professionals, she quickly began to provide her clients with many benefits that other promotional marketing companies don’t offer.
Linda has two Masters Degrees and Certifications in the health field - Speech Pathology and Audiology, and was the director of a clinic for several years overseeing the development and implentation of clinical programs, employees and writing grants.
Once Linda ventured into the business world, she was in Operations and Business Development for over a 20 year span. Then Linda combined her interest in Health and Business as the Founder/President of a Non-Profit Organization called the Cardiac Arrest Survivor Network. This organization provided support to cardiac arrest survivors, their families, and the medical professionals trying to help these survivors at a time when Public Access Defribillation was just starting to save lives of people experiencing cardiac arrests.
Linda brings to the table many years of experience in management, operations and program development in the health, education and business fields giving her an understanding and capability of how to reach for, and create success.
