Team Phun Promotes National Brand Ambassador and Brand Experience Manager
Internal promotions keep rolling at Team Phun, a brand-building and promotional products company operating in San Diego, California and Charleston, South Carolina. The company is announcing two more promotions on its fast-growing team—Ashley Larabee to National Brand Ambassador and Ashleigh Barbaria to Brand Experience Manager.
Ashley began at Team Phun in 2018 as a designer and operations coordinator before transitioning to a brand consultant role, bringing over 15 years of experience as a bartender and graphic designer. Now, as National Brand Ambassador, Ashley works with several national liquor distributors to design promotional products for their staff and customer base. She also works with other nationwide companies including a non-profit that defends rights for domestic workers, and a marketing/e-commerce business that helps entrepreneurs reach their goals. Ashley is an expert in meeting her clients’ aesthetic and branding needs, and she is always on the hunt for creative new products to fit their brands that can’t be found off-the-shelf.
Ashleigh joined the team in August 2021 with Team Phun’s acquisition of the experiential marketing services division of Mirus Agency, where she was a brand consultant. As Brand Experience Manager, Ashleigh now oversees the Phun for All experiential marketing branch of the company. Phun for All helps companies increase brand awareness and return on investment by building strategic experiential marketing plans that include creative solutions to logistics, staffing, management, reporting, and analysis. In her new role, Ashleigh looks forward to realizing innovative marketing processes while maintaining the boutique feel of the Team Phun business.
Team Phun has been recognized with numerous awards and accolades; recently ranked 2nd fastest growing distributor by Print + Promo Marketing Magazine. Team Phun has also been honored for two consecutive years among the top ten branding companies in the United States and is a member of the Advertising Specialty Institute (ASI 342550).
