Pro-Ad Celebrates a Successful 10th Promotional Products Expo

The Pro-Ad Expo 2025 was the ultimate promotional 
products experience. Held at the iconic home of the Newcastle Falcons at Kingston 
Park, this year’s event was all about pushing the boundaries with the theme Bigger, 
Better, Greener – and it delivered in style. 

Marketing and procurement professionals from across the region and beyond visited 
the event, keen to explore the latest in promotional merchandise solutions. With over 
30 stands and hundreds of products on show, covering specialist categories – from 
trending innovations to tried-and-tested favourites – the Expo offered something for 
every brand looking to make a lasting impression. From eco-friendly, British-made 
gems to the latest in corporate clothing, the event proved there’s no one-size-fits-all 
approach to making an impact with memorable and sustainable branded merchandise. 

Carlo Nardini, founder of Pro-Ad, said: 
"This wasn’t just another trade show – this was a full-on experience! We set out to 
inspire, innovate, and show how creative merchandise can make a brand unforgettable. 
The buzz on the show floor was electric, and the feedback from our visitors was beyond 
exciting and heart-warming.” 

The day featured more than just product inspiration – attendees got hands-on with live 
product demos, enjoyed personalised product-sourcing sessions, and gained valuable 
insights from educational seminars packed with real-world success stories. Speakers 
shared how global brands are using merchandise to boost awareness, loyalty, and 
support sustainability goals.  

Standout products included notebooks made from coffee grounds and corn husks, a 
sleek low-carbon reusable coffee cup, and – of course – the highly coveted Pro-Ad 
goodie bags. These sustainable bags were filled with eco-conscious treats like branded 
lunchboxes, sustainable stationery, promotional socks, and the latest in tech 
solutions. 


This biennial event is a must-attend for marketing, procurement, and brand 
professionals, offering an exclusive opportunity to explore cutting-edge trends and 
experience innovative sustainable merchandise solutions firsthand. A key moment in 
the Pro-Ad calendar, it brings together industry leaders, branding and product experts,
