ABOUT US
After 15 years in the water filtration business, the founders of Pure Marketing Group decided to change the game.
The opportunity to help companies build their brand within high traffic areas by providing free water to consumers while advertising on state of the art Hydration Stations just made sense.
In turn, the venues we work with benefit from a zero cost, maintenance free drinking water solution that enhances the overall visitor experience and creates a new revenue stream.
PMG chooses to only partner with the most reputable organizations on both the venue side and the advertising side.
PMG's core values are:
● meeting the goals of all of our clients
● providing clean water to the general public at no cost
● minimizing plastic water bottle waste
● helping those in need throughout the world gain access to clean water through our partnership with waterislife.org
● putting out only the best products with amazing designs and functionality
● always continue to innovate
If you like our concept and feel that it makes sense for your organization, feel free to reach out and we will be happy to help.
