CEO and President, Derek Block embodies these characteristics to inspire the staff and excite customers. He knows that providing any service to a diverse global economy cannot be done alone, which is why he has assembled a team of the industry’s strongest leaders. The Touchstone Executives have proven themselves capable to assume industry front lines. Leading leaders has meant allowing room for the Production Team, Client Services, Creative Team, Interactive Team and Account Managers to work their execution magic, meeting client needs and reaching and exceeding company goals.

We pride ourselves on our agility and the ability to provide cutting-edge technology, warehousing, decorating, customer support, offshore sourcing, custom product design/development, graphic design and a photo studio. Our staff is passionate about being trend-aware, industry-savvy, and leaders in their fields. We continually invest in resources that enable us to better serve our clients.

Our goal is not to become the biggest in the industry, but to continue to grow by collaborating with clients that have an interest in extending their brands beyond protocol and delivering dimensional brand experiences.
