About Proforma Battlefield

Independently Owned and Operated in Hamilton, Ontario

Proforma Battlefield Advertising has spent more than 25 years helping Canadian businesses put their brand on the products their clients, staff and partners actually use, from corporate gifts and apparel to print and trade show displays.

Local roots, national network

Proforma Battlefield Advertising is independently owned and operated by Vivek Narola from Hamilton, Ontario. Drawing on Proforma's national network of vetted suppliers, Proforma Battlefield offers the pricing, product range and production capacity of a large agency while keeping the relationship local and direct.

For clients, that combination means working with one person who knows their account and their brand guidelines, backed by a supplier network large enough to source almost anything: branded merchandise, corporate gifts, apparel, commercial printing, trade show displays and promotional fulfillment.

How we work with clients

Most relationships start with a single project, such as a trade show order or a batch of client gifts, and grow into an ongoing arrangement as more categories move through the same point of contact. Proforma Battlefield's approach is consultative: every project starts with a conversation about the audience, the budget and the timeline, and product recommendations follow from that rather than the other way around.

This is particularly useful for businesses that do not have an in-house creative or procurement team dedicated to branded products. Proforma Battlefield handles the sourcing, the proofs, the production timeline and, where needed, the ongoing storage and fulfillment, so internal teams can focus on the campaign or program rather than the logistics behind it.

Our service lines

Proforma Battlefield's five service lines cover most of what a business needs to put its brand on a physical product or in front of an audience: corporate gifts, corporate and branded merchandise, branded apparel, commercial printing, trade show displays and events, and promotional fulfillment with warehousing. Awards and recognition rounds out the lineup for employee and milestone programs.

Industries we work with

Clients span small and mid-size businesses, healthcare and education, real estate, construction and trades, technology and professional services, government and automotive sectors. Each industry tends to lean on a different mix of service lines, healthcare and education often focus on recognition and gifting, while construction and trades rely more on branded apparel and signage, but the sourcing process is the same across all of them.
