Oshkosh-based 4imprint has once again proven that consistency pays off—not just in promotional products but in workplace culture. The retailer landed on the 2025 Fortune Best Workplaces in Advertising and Marketing list, marking its 18th consecutive year of recognition. That’s nearly two decades of staying power in an industry where talent churn is more common than client loyalty.

The annual list, compiled by Great Place To Work and Fortune, is built on a rigorous analysis of employee survey data. This year, responses from more than 8,500 employees across certified organizations were evaluated, with 4imprint earning especially high marks—90% of its team members said it’s a great place to work.

Culture That Sticks

Unlike flashy perks or short-lived employer branding campaigns, 4imprint’s formula for recognition seems grounded in everyday values. CEO Kevin Lyons-Tarr credited the company’s people for shaping the culture: “Their positivity, curiosity, and collaboration are just some of the reasons we have so much to celebrate.”

For context, Great Place To Work taps into more than 1.3 million survey responses annually, making this one of the largest ongoing workforce studies in the U.S. To even be considered, companies must already be Great Place To Work-certified, setting a high bar for entry.

Industry Signal

Recognition on Fortune’s list doesn’t just burnish a company’s employer brand—it also signals operational stability in a competitive sector. In advertising and marketing, where the fight for skilled talent is fierce, 4imprint’s 18-year streak is an outlier. Most organizations can’t sustain cultural momentum through market swings, let alone across nearly two decades of technological disruption.

Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work, summed it up: “In every industry, our research shows that investing in people drives productivity and higher revenues.” For 4imprint, that investment is clearly compounding.
