Ed Levy

As founder and president of Edventure Promotions, Inc., Ed Levy's inventiveness, imagination and insatiable interest in technological trends continue to drive the measurable, memorable campaigns he creates for his diverse client base. Built primarily through referrals since starting out in 2000, EPI's client portfolio includes The Art Institute of Chicago, Walsh Group and World President's Org, to name a few of the many nationally recognized brands, as well as Cramer-Krasselt and Energy BBDO on the agency side.

In 1993 Ed combined his retail real estate experience and his sales and marketing skills with a start-up screen-printing company, Midwest Screen Printing (MWS). Soon thereafter, MWS merged with Uniforms to You (UTY), an international uniform manufacturer, to expand its non-uniform market reach. Powered with a national sales force of 94 professionals in 29 states and bureaucracy to match, Ed's entrepreneurial skills were honed to new levels. Ed's division was spun-off in 1996 through the acquisition of Sharprint, a competing Chicago-based screen-printing company. Leading the Sales and Marketing efforts, Ed catapulted revenues over ten fold within four years.

In 2010 Edventure Promotions received a PYRAMID Award for "Best Self Promotion" within the Promotional Products Industry Association (PPAI) and won the Spirit Award, the Advertising Specialty International's (ASI) highest honor within the same category. We then went on to repeat in 2011 and 2013.
