Peter is the Founder and Director at Hardline Creative Inc.
With a background in product development in the power tool industry, he recognized a need for companies to have better control of how their sales and marketing collateral were being represented at a grassroots retail level.
So, he developed a user friendly platform, that allowed sales reps and distributors to create custom marketing pieces, with the capability for distributors to access allocated vendor funds, all while ensuring that the content was on brand.
15 years later, Hardline Creative still operates a thriving division of vendor funded marketing platforms that specialize in meeting the creative needs for some of the biggest brands in retail hardware.
