Overview
BIG is a brand management firm in Chanhassen, Minnesota, offering end-to-end branding and workforce engagement services through four divisions: corporate (uniforms and branded products), employee recognition (rewards programs), printing (business materials), and athletic (uniforms and equipment for schools and colleges). It operates as a vertically integrated, one-stop system that handles design, sourcing, manufacturing, printing, fulfillment, and logistics, funding 100% of manufacturing and invoicing after drop-shipment. The company differentiates itself by coordinating product selection with fast delivery for a broad client base, including Fortune 500 clients, and by expanding recognition solutions through the APIC acquisition. Its goal is to provide a seamless branding and supply chain solution that accelerates delivery, keeps brand consistency, and supports client growth across multiple industries.
