Branded Merchandise Agency

We are The 1947

We are a creative & strategically led branded merchandise agency.

However, our story didn’t start in a boardroom.

It started around a family table, with the invention of the Magic Slate in 1947. A simple toy that helped children draw, write, and imagine.

From that, we learned the most powerful ideas are often the simplest, and meaningful brands are built with care and purpose.

Since 1947 we’ve helped brands connect with people through sustainable, durable, and thoughtfully designed merchandise.
