Executive summary
Unify brand presence through branded merchandise
The Economist set out to thank employees around the world with a premium festive gift that felt consistent wherever it landed. With 1,400 branded Christmas hampers to design, produce, pack and ship across multiple regions inside a fixed timeframe and budget, the campaign demanded tight coordination and reliable international logistics. JSM managed it end to end, from concept and in-house production to global fulfilment.
Their challenge
The Economist needed to deliver 1,400 branded Christmas hampers to employees worldwide, within a fixed timeframe and budget. That meant producing a premium, on-brand gift at volume, packing every hamper to a consistent standard, and coordinating international distribution so each employee received theirs on time, wherever they were based.
Our solution
JSM designed, produced and packed the hampers in-house, keeping full control of quality and timings at every stage. Each hamper was finished to the same standard, then distributed across the EMEA and APAC regions through a premium delivery network. Handling design, production, packing and fulfilment under one roof kept the campaign on brand, on budget and on schedule, with no need for the client to coordinate multiple suppliers.

Really happy with the service! We have used JSM a few times over the last couple of years, but the team is great. Most occasions have been time sensitive and they have been really quick to reply, and they have advised me on the best options for delivery and product on both occasions.

Always had a very good response from JSM with regards to all queries. They have gone above also by doing price matching on certain occasions. I look forward to working with you again this year.
