Who we are:

At LR Paris, we are putting a hiring focus on professionals with experience in the promotional product industry—if you have a strong background in this field, we want you to apply! This is an exciting opportunity to join a new team within the company as we continue to expand and grow our impact in the branded product space.

Let’s face it: branded products often fade into the background or, worse, end up in the trash. However, the world has evolved, and so should the approach to everything a logo touches. At LR Paris, we believe a logo is no longer just a symbol; it’s a promise that reflects a brand's values and quality.

Drawing from three generations of experience, we focus on creating meaningful, high-quality exchanges that capture a brand's essence. We specialize in unraveling each unique story to create something that resonates long after the unboxing moment. Our products don't just stand out; they stand the test of time.

At LR Paris, we are a full-service branded agency that crafts objects into tangible brand experiences. We have a full in-house team from Product Designers, worldwide Production and Logistics, and 360 Customer Service. We aspire to be the go-to branded product solution partner for all Fortune 500 companies.

Our mission – create branded products worth keeping.
