Jeremy Parker is a dynamic entrepreneur whose career journey has been defined by creativity, adaptability, and a relentless drive to solve problems. Raised in Angola, New Jersey, by an artist mother and a business-savvy father, Jeremy initially pursued filmmaking, winning an award for a feature-length documentary at the Vale Film Festival. However, after recognizing a lack of passion compared to his peers, Jeremy pivoted to entrepreneurship shortly after college. Jeremy's most notable success came with the founding of Swag.com, a platform for promotional products that streamlined the purchasing process for businesses. By listening to customer feedback and targeting the right audience, Jeremy grew Swag.com into a $30 million enterprise in just six years. The company was later acquired by Custom Ink. Currently, Jeremy is leading Swag Space, a platform designed to empower small promotional distributors by leveraging Swag.com’s technology. His goal is to automate backend processes, allowing distributors to focus on sales and scale their businesses while benefiting from Custom Ink’s purchasing power. Jeremy attributes his success to adaptability, learning from failure, and focusing on customer needs. He believes in staying present, consistently improving, and balancing his entrepreneurial ventures with family life in Florida, where he resides with his wife and two children, expecting a third. He is passionate about creating more businesses and helping others succeed through platforms like Swag.com and Swag Space.
