My guest today is Dale Denham, President and CEO of the Promotional Products Association International - better known as the PPAI. Dale’s also the man behind #Online18 - a list he created in 2014 highlighting the most influential social media voices in the Promotional Products Industry. And I'm excited to share, I made the list this year thanks to my podcast!

I invited Dale to be a guest on my show to talk about #Online18. I wanted to know what inspired him to start this prestigious list. And I was curious to learn how he decides who gets on it every year. And finally, as President of the PPAI, I was curious to get Dale’s POV on the role promotional products play in creating brand awareness.
