History

koffee talk was started by “Lovey” Suzanne St. Pellicer in 2002, when she made a career change from the marketing industry to corporate sales in the advertising specialties industry. With a need to develop a customer base, she contacted two friends to join her for coffee in the lobby of a local hotel in Baltimore, Maryland to exchange leads. Quickly she discovered that all three of them were selling to the same two industries: marketing and human resources.

Soon, others who also sold to the marketing and human resources industry were invited to come for a cup of coffee and exchange leads. Suzanne then decided to invite some of her customers to come for coffee and meet other vendors/suppliers who would be a great resource for them. It was at this moment that the group took on a whole new meaning, as suppliers and buyers were put into a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere to network, exchange ideas, build relationships and ultimately do business together.

Today koffee talk has developed into a professional marketing organization, based on the core philosophy of doing business the old fashioned way – developing relationships. The original meeting over a cup of coffee has grown into a room full of marketing professionals and their suppliers/vendors networking and doing business over breakfast.
