editor’s comment
Editor’s Comment Welcome to the March issue and my favourite month of the year! The first quarter is nearly complete, the mornings are getting lighter and evenings longer. Roll on the summer! The March Edition of Future Magazine introduces one of our newest partners PlayJam with their nifty GameStick. Publicised as world’s most portable TV games console, the device brings the world of Android gaming directly to a television and will be available exclusively from Exertis Gem in the coming weeks. The addition of PlayJam, along with the likes of Ouya, has broadened the gaming hardware offering available from Exertis Gem, targeting a different demographic and giving retailers the opportunity to introduce their customers to a new kind of gaming experience.
Faye Le Duc Trade Marketing Manager
Bayan Audio took to the sales floor of Exertis Gem last month and blew the roof with their incredible Soundbook and Soundbook X3. The concentrated range delivers impressive sound clarity and has certainly turned the heads of a few journalists – and rightly so. The Soundbook range is available exclusively from Exertis Gem, along with the StreamPort wireless audio adaptor. This year’s March Madness promotion kicks off on Monday 17th March, giving you a chance to grab some excellent products at unbelievable prices. The promotion is only a week long and deals will be on a first come first served basis so be sure to register for our e-newsletters by mailing onine@exertisgem.co.uk or following our social media channels (www.facebook.com/exertisgem & www.twitter.com/exertisgem). I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has taken the time to vote for Exertis Gem in this year’s PCR Awards taking place on the 13th March. We’ve been nominated in 5 separate categories and are so grateful to you all for the support and recognition!

Exertis Gem News Bayan Audio partners with Exertis Gem
The new Soundbook range now available British audio manufacturer, Bayan Audio, has partnered with Exertis Gem and is set to perfectly compliment and expand the consumer electronics category.
Exertis Gem is thrilled to bring onboard Bayan Audio, to supply their unified range of audio products to the channel.
Passionate about sound quality and beautiful design, Bayan Audio was founded in 2011 in the UK, with the aim to create outstanding products to help customers enjoy sound wherever they are.
Jon Sutherland, Head of Category for Exertis Gem, comments “Bayan Audio delivers innovative designs with universal audio application, allowing excellent compatibility across a diverse range of products. As a distribution partner with access to a wider range of high street and online retailers we are delighted to help continue to build their business. We look forward to seeing the partnership develop as we grow the Bayan Audio brand in the UK.”
Bayan Audio believe that natural materials such as wood produce the best sound performance, so they try where possible to use them in all their products, and if they have to use plastics, they make sure it's recycled. When customers buy Bayan Audio they can enjoy the simplicity of using their products, but know that internally they are engineered with the latest technology and materials.
Distributor thrilled with recognition for High Street Distribution Team We are delighted to have been nominated for the High Street Distribution Team award at the MCV Awards 2014, a ceremony which recognises success and innovation in the UK games business, across retail, digital sales, marketing and publishing. “The nomination for High Street Distribution Team of the Year is a testament to our commitment to support the channel and our retail partners.

Q&A
Q&A
Follow Exertis Gem for the latest news & updates
Introducing Andrew Hirst The Future spotlights Office Products Category Manager, Andrew Hirst Since its launch last year can you tell us more about the Office Products division of Exertis Gem? Exertis Gem Office Products supplies nearly 6000 SKU’s, the range spans in excess of 200 brands. Our breadth of range is varied across a number of traditional categories such as filing, Paper, Writing, Office Accessories, as well technology IT and EOS. We are constantly evolving the range and new categories are being added all the time. Our aim is to bring a fresh simple distribution model for office supplies. Since launch, feedback from customers has been very encouraging. Can you tell us more about what your role entails? As part of the category team, I strive to make sure that everyone knows what we have in stock, to be the champion for the products, and highlight the features, benefits and opportunities they present. Really for me personally it just means maximising opportunities on the products we offer.
What’s in store for the Office Supplies category over the coming year? It’s a really exciting year ahead for us as we continue to grow and add additional categories and look to strengthen relationships with customers and brand partners. We are working hard on finalising our annual activity/marketing schedule. It means we have a strong calendar of events, promotions and marketing collateral happening this year. Describe yourself in 3 words? Well, I asked my children last night to help me out and give me three words to describe Daddy. My 7 year old came straight out with - Weird, Smelly, Nice. Tell us a fact which most people don’t know… I once hid under my desk in my office to avoid seeing some one. Thing is they came and sat in the office to wait for me!! It was a very embarrassing situation which I probably made worse with my poor exit strategy by surfacing after a few mins and pretending to have been looking for my pencil.
