“While creating walking billboards with quality branded apparel is a time-tested marketing strategy, creating meaningful partnerships with organizations that share our values and help us illuminate the character of our community, remains key to our success,” said Discover Long Island President & CEO, Kristen Reynolds, CDME. “Now more than ever, people are shopping with intention and like to wear brands that they have a positive association with and are transparent about their efforts to do good. Quality products that showcase and support the local, diverse, and socially conscious businesses across our destination, not only benefits our brand but truly uplifts the entire community – while giving residents, visitors, and ex-pats more motivation to demonstrate their Long Island pride.” “It is a privilege to collaborate with Discover Long Island all year ‘round but especially during Autism Acceptance Month. They are a valued partner helping to further our mission of creating neurodiverse employment opportunities,” said Spectrum Designs Co-Founder & CEO, Patrick Bardsley. “Their ongoing support has been instrumental in driving positive change for individuals with different abilities across our community. We are grateful to them for making such an impact and creating an exemplary cycle of positive change across the Island.” Josh Mirsky, Lead Production Assistant at Spectrum Designs said, “I’m always honored to work on jobs for our dedicated clients. Many organizations just say they support neurodiverse employment, but partners like Discover Long Island walk the walk! I cannot speak highly enough about them and appreciate their support!” Additional
