about us

8D Marketing (formerly Global Associates) provides quick, efficient, and cost-effective marketing assistance in the United States, Italy, and China. Since 1976, we have introduced small, medium and large suppliers to business customers of all sizes.

We have represented, or consulted, Samsung, Hyundai, Noritake, Allied Chemical, Endicott Research Group, Emerging Technologies Corporation, and a variety of other clients, large and small.

The dozens of customers that we have developed for these clients include General Motors, John Deere, Singer, General Electric, Motorola, Ford, Daimler-Chrysler, Whirlpool, and hundreds of smaller customers.

Through associates in China, Italy and the US, we are prepared to introduce new companies, products, or services in a number of local areas. While our primary function is sales, we offer additional marketing related services in order to provide a complete marketing package when appropriate, especially in another country.

In addition to more traditional rep services, we now offer Virtual-Rep, an opportunity to efficiently and quickly introduce your products and services to clients with a video after an initial phone conversation. These video presentations are particularly useful when an initial exploratory meeting with a prospect is not possible. They are delivered in the language, and with the cultural considerations, of the prospect's country.
