Promoboxx is excited to welcome Adam Doucette to the team as a Brand Account Manager. Adam is a graduate of The University of Prince Edward Island in PEI, Canada. He completed his MBA in 2013 with a focus in Innovation Management. Adam’s past experience includes Business Development Consultant at a game and application development studio, Small Business Consultant to Immigrant Entrepreneurs, and as an Employment and Education Counselor for Immigrants new to Canada. We can’t wait to see Adam rock it at Promoboxx! We asked him a few questions to get to know him better. Take a look at his answers below!
Team and culture were definitely high priority for me, but I also really liked the mission of making the lives of retailers easier and how the brands will benefit. I know this sounds simple to say, but seeing how beneficial using Promoboxx is for both sides really hit home for me.
“You can’t afford not to take risks” – I remember hearing this from a guest speaker that I really wasn’t all that enthralled with during my undergrad years (let’s just say awhile ago). I remember feeling like I hadn’t really gotten anything from the speaker, but this quote he ended his presentation has really stuck with me. I love being able to use on it on friends who are facing tough decisions (and try to use it myself as much as possible).
Besides the obvious of having a quality product or service, I love when brands are able to really move their customers with the marketing they do and have their customers talking about it after. The World Cup always has great campaigns which my friends and I always share with one-another. This ad came out recently.

My wife and I moved here about a year and a half ago, so we still kind of feel like tourists. Going to Fenway for a ball game is always a good time so that would be high on my list, but just checking out new parts of the area is always fun.
My dad started a Sno-Kone business when I was about 12 going to public events around PEI, Canada (where I am from). It was pretty cool to learn about costs, marketing (with no budget), and overall how to make a profit. Oh, and giving Sno-Kones away to my friends for free was always fun.
I have two. First, you can’t help but have love for Marathon Sports on Boylston, given everything that went on last year, plus they have a great selection. The other is Monkey Sports in Norwood. Being from Canada, I was pretty much raised on skates and I still play hockey as a goalie, so checking out all their gear is pretty fun. If you’re a goalie, go check it out (they have a couple other locations around the country).
