Hi there! I’m Angie Bellanti, owner of English Apparel & Promotional Materials. My love for fashion started early—I earned my B.S. in Fashion Merchandising from Missouri State University and came just one class shy of a double major in Fashion Design. I didn’t want to wait another year to graduate, but honestly, I’ve been able to use that creative side every single day since.

After college, I spent four years in sales at KTTS Radio, then helped launch LivingSocial Deals here in Springfield. Both experiences showed me how much I enjoy connecting with people and finding ways to help businesses shine. In late 2012, local entrepreneur Paul Sundy and I dreamed up English Apparel, and six years later, I bought the company outright. Since then, my husband Brian and I have grown it alongside our incredible team—who truly feel like family.

What I love most about this business? The people. Our clients inspire us daily, and our team makes work something I genuinely look forward to. Whether it’s branded apparel, thoughtful client gifts, or creative promo pieces, I love helping others share their story and celebrate their brand with pride (and a little fun along the way!)

My name is Brian Bellanti. Along with my wife Angie, we proudly own English Apparel & Promotional Materials. 

I love spending time outdoors with family and friends. When we are not camping we love to spend time with our family at Table Rock Lake, travel the USA when time allows, fishing, hunting, kayaking and pretty much anything adventurous.

Prior to English Apparel & Promotional Materials I spent 13 years with AT&T, first in customer service and sales followed by 4 years in management.

We have a passion for our business and pride ourselves on over delivering quality, service and price. We’ve built an amazing team of talented individuals to make your order experience streamlined and effortless and feel fortunate to be part of our customers business, their brand and enjoy being a small part of others success! Let us make your logo happy!

Hi there, I'm Brooke Messer. I am a Promotional Specialist with English Promo. I have lived here in Springfield, MO my entire life, raising two sweet boys in the same town I grew up in. My world outside of English is compiled of weekends at the lake, time in KC with my parents and watching the Chiefs play, enjoying a patio, tacos & margs, and of course loving on the littles. I met the Bellanti's through my career in logistics and instantly admired their conversation, passion and customer service. I am so grateful to have such awesome people filling our office. I'd love to get to know more about you and see what we can create for your company!

Hi! I'm Kat McKernan. I was born in San Clemente, California, and moved to Kansas City, Missouri when I was younger. But my family finally settled in Baton Rouge, Louisiana when I was 5 years old, and I have lived here ever since. I have been working in the promotional product industry since 2017 and absolutely love it. Nothing makes me happier than finding that perfect unique item to suit each client's needs. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and especially with my dog Jagger. When I'm not doing that, I love reading and creative writing, listening to my favorite podcasts, or finding a new series to binge on Hulu or Netflix. I'm planning to move to Clearwater, Florida soon, and can't wait to spend time sitting on the beach with a good book and hopefully catching a tan!

Amber Jenkins is enthusiastic about people and about making sure you are happy with your order. She has 8 years previous experience working in the promotional product industry. She is returning to the field as her three kids are now all in elementary school.

She is excited to join English Promo! When she is not taking care of your order behind the scenes, she is teaching swim lessons, or being a mom. She loves to read and hopes to be able to sit and do that again one day.

My name is Andrea Konkol and I am so thrilled to be part of the English Promo family as a Sales Coordinator & Brand Ambassador!

With over 12 years experience in the promotional products industry, I am eagerly excited to help you with your next project! I love finding unique and creative ways to show off your brand.

Being a mom of 2 little girls keeps me very busy, but when I’m not making memories with them, I enjoy going to MN Wild hockey games, concerts, or just a simple taco and margarita night with friends. 

Katy Salisbury is an Account Manager for English Apparel & Promotional Materials. She came to us in November of 2014 with 6 years of experience in office management. Katy is a mother of 5 and if she isn't in the office you can probably find her spending time with her kids, at an OKC Thunder game, or jamming to some Hanson!

If you have questions about invoices, orders, payments, or receipts, Katy is your go-to girl. She can be contacted at accounting@englishpromo.com or katy@englishpromo.com.

Hello! My name is Amy Hoffmann. I live in southwest Minnesota with my husband and two children. I was born and raised in a small town and enjoy staying active in our community. I have 8 years of sales experience and 13 years in customer service. I take pride in building relationships with customers and helping them achieve their goals!

On the weekends I enjoy reading, spending time at the lake and traveling with my family. I love spending time outdoors in the summer and heading to the beach or the desert in the winter!

Hi! My name is Ellen Walborn. I live in Asheville, North Carolina. I’ve worked in the Promotional Products industry for almost 8 years now, and I absolutely love it! I have lots of experience working in various roles within the industry and I’m excited to share my experience with the team and our clients. Gifting is an act of love and corporate gifting is no different. I love working with clients on fun projects where the end result will brighten someone’s day!

Outside of work you will find me playing around in the mountains. Any opportunity I get to be outside I’ll take! At home I’m an animal lover, I have three dogs and four chickens, as well as a garden that I will talk your ear off about given half the chance.

I’m so excited to meet you, and chat about fun ideas to show off your company’s brand!
