Clayton Kendall and Concord Marketing Solutions (PPAI 164774, Platinum), PPAI’s No. 19 distributor, have announced the combined companies are rebranding as a single, unified organization under the Concord name.

The new brand identity, including a fresh logo, visual identity and digital presence, reflects a year of integration and growth. The companies joined forces in early 2025.

“Bringing our companies together under one name is a natural next step,” says Brad Moore, CEO of Concord. “Our new brand reflects who we are today: one team, singularly focused on delivering exceptional solutions for the corporate and franchise clients who trust us with their brand.”

Proforma (PPAI 196835, Platinum), PPAI 100’s No. 5 distributor, was honored to serve as a Dream Sponsor for the 2026 Around the World with St. Jude Gala in Tampa, supporting its mission to provide care and advance research for children battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases. In addition to the gala sponsorship, Proforma donated 50 comfort care bags for children who are undergoing treatment and their families.

“As a family-owned and operated business, we deeply resonate with St. Jude’s commitment to supporting children and families through some of life’s most difficult challenges,” says Vera Muzzillo, CEO of Proforma. “Proforma is proud to stand behind a mission that offers compassion and care to families when they need it most.”

The Around the World with St. Jude Gala is an annual event bringing together individuals and organizations committed to advancing St. Jude’s mission for an evening of auctions, dinner, and an inspiring story from a St. Jude patient. Prior to the gala, Proforma support center team members packed donation backpacks for children and families in St. Jude’s care. The backpacks included a blanket, drink tumbler, journal and colored pencils, providing comfort items for use during treatment and hospital stays.
