With nearly 40 years of experience in the industry of corporate gifting, we’ve learned a thing or two about the power of connection…
OUR BEGINNINGS
A Simple Answer…
Aodh and Judith Bourke established ASA Marketing in 1984 with the goal of providing A Simple Answer to the problems many clients face promoting their businesses – remote brand engagement. By associating their companies with high quality products and services (sourced by ASA) which could be sent to their staff or clients, they were able to deliver memorable brand experiences. Nearly four decades on, our family-run business continues to be the trusted choice for brand engagement, with sisters Michelle and Caroline now taking the helm and steering the company forward with that well-known dedication to quality of service with Sustainability at the fore.
ASA Brands is now A Simple Answer for Low Impact Gifting!

OUR COMMITMENT
A vision for how things should be
At ASA, we understand that every brand is different and needs to connect to its teams in a unique and personal way. We go the extra mile to find truly unique and sustainable gifts that connect and align with your brand values. We are dedicated to providing your company with meaningful gift experiences on time and within budget. Think of us as your Brand Experience team – an extension of your marketing department. We care just as much as you – if not more – about delivering brand excellence.
OUR TEAM
Think global, act local
Working with ASA, you will have a personal account manager who will become more than an advisor – they will take time to truly understand the unique way in which you need to engage with your team and will seek out the products that best connect on a local level, whilst onboarding out across continents.
Meet the team.
