Prepared for Blanchard by Blue Sky Marketing

More than a vendor,a partner in achievement.

The way Blanchard shows up for its leaders is the way Blue Sky shows up for Blanchard — hands-on, accountable, and invested in the long arc. Branded apparel, cohort kits, recognition, and event programs built alongside your team, never handed off to a catalog.

Branded Blanchard gift kit — canvas tote, embossed journal, insulated tumbler, lapel pin, wool throw, and hand-written notecard.

Why Blue Sky

A partner built to match how Blanchard works.

Blanchard isn't an ordinary leadership-development brand — and a transactional swag shop won't do. Blue Sky shows up the way Blanchard does: human-centered, quality-obsessed, and accountable for the result.

01

A Partner That Honors Human-Powered Work

Blanchard's promise is human-powered learning that turns potential into performance. A transactional swag shop can't carry that — Blue Sky can. One account team, hands-on from brief to doorstep, accountable for the result and not just the order.

02

Quality Worthy of the SLII® Standard

The brand behind 'The Heart of Human Achievement®' won't put its name on anything ordinary. Neither will we. Every garment, kit, and award is held to the standard your facilitators, partners, and client leaders already expect.

03

Connected From Brief to Doorstep

Sourcing, decoration, kitting, warehousing, and ship-to-recipient — one partner, one PO, one accountable team. Less coordination for People, Marketing, and Client Solutions; more time on the work that develops leaders.

Aligned at the Values

Two teams, one operating standard.

The reason this partnership works: Blanchard's values and Blue Sky's values were already running on the same wavelength. Read them side by side.

Blanchard
  • Be True

    Transparent, direct, doing what's right by clients and people.

  • Scale Kindness

    Serving others with compassion. Fair, balanced, right.

  • Transform Together

    Heart- and mind-aligned leaders reaching new heights together.

  • Relentless Pursuit

    Of better learning, better leaders, better outcomes.

Blue Sky Marketing

    The right call, always — even when it's the harder one.

  • Be Responsive

    Show up fast. Follow through faster.

  • Be Ambitious

    Raise the bar on every program.

  • Customer First

    Your priorities set ours.

    Partners, not vendors.

Inspired Leader Welcome Box

Facilitator Field Pack

Facilitator Field Pack

Built for the people who carry Blanchard into the room — a premium pack with a Moleskine® journal & pen set, JBL® wireless earbuds, and a CORKCICLE® leak proof tumbler. A thank-you to the certified facilitators who scale the work.

Conference Activation Kit

Elevate Blanchard's presence at ATD, Training Industry, and channel summits — a Ertha recycled tote bag, a tentree® hemp cap, and a Travis & Wells leather pouch that registers as 'Blanchard' across the floor.

Operations & Fulfillment

The back-office that keeps Blanchard moving.

A single partner for warehousing, kitting, ordering, and shipping — so People, Marketing, and Client Solutions don't have to coordinate five vendors to send a client thank-you or restock cohort kits.

01

A private Blanchard storefront so People, Marketing, and channel-partner teams can reorder approved gear without chasing vendors.

02

Inventory Management

Real-time visibility so you never run out of cohort kits, facilitator apparel, or summit gear mid-program.

Pre-built kits for new-hire onboarding, client welcome boxes, and cohort certifications — assembled and ready to ship.

Warehousing

Dedicated storage with secure intake, audit-ready reporting, and brand-safe packaging on every shipment.

Direct-to-home, direct-to-office, and direct-to-venue fulfillment across the US — for Blanchard team members, clients, and facilitators alike.

Let's begin

Let's build a branded program worthy of Blanchard.

We'd welcome a working session with the Blanchard team to scope a first program — a client welcome box, a facilitator field kit, an ATD activation, or a company-wide branded store.
