Beyond the Swag: Merch is Media Podcast
Beyond the Swag is a straight-talk podcast that explores what really happens behind branded merchandise, promotional products, and apparel—not the glossy highlight reels, but the decisions, mistakes, strategies, and people that shape the industry. Hosted by Kevin Patrick, the show goes past logos and giveaways to unpack how swag is actually used to grow businesses, build culture, win clients, and sometimes fail when done wrong. Each episode features honest conversations with founders, operators, suppliers, distributors, marketers, and brand leaders who share real stories, hard lessons, and practical insights from the trenches. This isn’t a sales pitch or a trend-chasing show. It’s a no-fluff look at the business side of branding—how products are made, why certain strategies work, where the industry is broken, and what it will take to raise the standard. If you care about quality, execution, and using branded products as a real business tool—not just “free stuff”—this show is for you.
