History
Change Promotions Inc. was founded and registered by Richard Addo-Kessie in 2004; as a sole-propietship. In 2007 Change Promotions Inc. became a business to consumer (B2C) registered corporation. In a Brampton home, three young men began to formulate the ideas which would become the seed of an originally event oriented company. With the creation of entertainment events such as the highly successful See-Low Basketball Tournaments and the Shining Starz Talent Concert series Change Promotions Inc. developed a strong following within the Brampton municipality. As a result of the success achieved in the entertainment events Change Promotions Inc. began to garner the attention of the businesses that played the role of event sponsors.
This opened the door for Change Promotions Inc. to begin to assist these businesses in their respective marketing endeavors. It was through this evolution of events that Change Promotions Inc. recognized the need in the business environment for marketing services. The Business to Business (B2B) operation of Change Promotions Inc. was officially launched in 2011. With the calculated balance of tenacity, innovation, and diligence Change Promotions Inc. continues to expand its products, services, and the geographic location of its client base. To date we are proudly the Marketing Assistant of over 100 businesses in the Ontario region (Toronto, Brampton, Mississauga, Woodbridge, Scarborough, London, Barrie, Markham, Milton, Georgetown, Richmond Hill, Vaughn, Oakville, Burlington, and Hamilton.)
In 2018, Kofi Patrick Addo-Kessie was elected President of Change Promotions Business Solutions and turned his main area of study Information Technology into the focus of the marketing services provided to businesses. Still maintaining print and distribution services, his vision was to now focus on digital marketing. That same year we expanded operations of Change Promotions to West Africa. With our main team in Africa coming from the University of Ghana located in Accra, Ghana, we also have a team in Kumasi, Ghana and Lagos, Nigeria.
Present
Our current goal is to continue to build our team in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, mainly from York University, to work together with our team in Africa, in order to serve our clients locally, since 95% of our clients are from Ontario, Canada. Currently we are building a hosting team in Jamaica and working on operating some of our hardware there and in Africa. We want to allow businesses to have a different unique option by not only working with our team who are comprised of mainly young adults of many ethnicities, but also we want to help break stereotypes and allow business owners to experience a high professionalism from a business that is comprised of mainly people of African Descent.
Change Promotions Inc. is comprised of a team of vibrant, tenacious, and diligent individuals that are committed to serving and thinking “outside of the box”. With the vigor of youth and the heart to serve, Change Promotions Inc. will go the extra mile to provide our clients with innovative solutions to their marketing needs.
Change Promotions a young aggressive, ambitious group of business men who is going to take the marketing/advertising world to the next level. This group has the complete package, excellent customer service, and a well maintain business practice. This company is growing on a daily basis. I’ve had the privilege to work with them over the years and I have no complaints. I’ve also had the privilege to correspond with this group before they went into business and I’m glad to know them on a personal and also a business level. Change Promotions will do well from onwards to the future.
