In 2017, our founder Alicia Hay Matthai, was looking for a new challenge and made the jump into business ownership. As a seasoned promo professional, she wanted to take her past successes of providing items to clients that were unique to each and held relevance and interest to those that received them and use that as a vision for her new company.

 When deciding what to name her new venture, she approached it with the same passion as she has done helping her clients. Her gut reaction was Haymaker, a play on her maiden name (and also her son’s name), but also a word with a number of connotations. Thus, Haymaker was born, and we have been knocking people out with fabulous branded merch ideas ever since! 

 In 2024, we received our office WBENC certification and are proud to be a recognized woman owned and operated business!
