Why We Started TPG - And Why the Elephant
TPG isn’t just a promotional products company - it’s a piece of our family’s story. We’re Richard and Brandy, a husband-and-wife team building something with a purpose bigger than ourselves.
We’re parents of four amazing kids, and our family is at the heart of everything we do. The elephant, in particular, was inspired by our son on the autism spectrum - it’s his favorite animal, and it gives us the chance to share his story and our journey with him.
When people see our logo, they often ask: “Why the elephant?”
The answer is simple and deeply personal. We chose the elephant as our symbol because it represents more than just a design - it reflects our commitment to creating a space where our son, and others like him, can one day work without judgment, without ridicule, and reach their full potential.
We started The Printing Group with two goals in mind:
-
To help businesses tell their story through products that are thoughtful, purposeful, and impactful.
-
To build a future where inclusion, connection, and purpose guide everything we do.
Every order, every project, every client we serve is part of that bigger vision. For us, promo isn’t about swag - it’s about connection, inclusion, and building brands that last.
That’s our why. That’s why the elephant. 🐘
