LEADING THE INDUSTRY FOR 35 YEARS BrownTrout Publishers, Inc. is the largest calendar publisher in the world, and the only major publisher that is still independent. We produce over 1,200 titles and print more than 11 million calendars annually for a worldwide market. But we didn’t start this big. BrownTrout was founded in 1986, in Salt Lake City, by today’s CEO Mike Brown, along with his brother Marc Brown and sister-in-law Wendover Brown, with just three published calendar titles and 10,000 printed calendars. It wasn’t long before we published calendars on every state, and then began to publish wildlife, dog, cat, and horse breed calendars. The nineties saw big growth for BrownTrout, as our corporate headquarters moved to San Mateo, California, and sales offices opened in Redondo Beach. Our distribution center in Vacaville opened in 1997, right before we won “Vendor of the Year” from Borders Books. We began our international expansion in 1999, opening offices around the world. With offices in Canada, Mexico, Australia, and the Netherlands, we embraced an international strategy that still allows us to serve our network of local and multinational retailers. A focus on distribution gained us a substantial market in Japan, Korea, South Africa and Latin America, and we continue to be a force in these markets today. In 2000, our first licensed title, Pokemon, sold over 1.2 million units, generating over $15 million in retail sales for our customers. BrownTrout then began a systematic licensing program for calendars, eventually dominating the market for rock and pop calendars, automobiles, quirky animals, and many other properties. We work with all of the major licensees and appreciate our license partners. Our calendar product list exceeded 1,000 titles by 2007, which eventually included the popular Goats in Trees title, Yoga Cats, and the debut of Justin Bieber’s first calendar with over 630,000 copies sold. By then our product line included Wall calendars, Box calendars, engagement calendars and diaries, and many other formats. Our goal was to be a one stop shop for our customers. 2008 saw the financial crisis. Retail sales went soft and were that way for years. BrownTrout restructured, eventually moving the head office in 2011 from San Mateo in northern California to El Segundo in the Los Angeles area. Also in 2011 BrownTrout Canada acquired Wyman Publishing of London, Ontario Canada. The Wyman acquisition has been quite successful, with the addition of 150 titles and several coveted licenses such as Canadian Geographic. Through the years we have continued to win numerous Calendar Marketing Association awards and was named “Vendor of the Year” by many retailers. Our diverse team of professionals is what makes us successful each and every year. SYNERGY IS EFFECTIVENESS. IT IS TEAMWORK. Teams come in all shapes and sizes, with varying levels of function, focus, and fun. At BrownTrout, we work hard, and then we like to play hard. We believe that’s what good teams do.

At BrownTrout, we work hard, and then we like to play hard. We believe that’s what good teams do. We focus every day on creating, selling, and distributing awesome products, knowing that we need each other for our unique characteristics and contributions. Whether a long-timer or a short-term employee, we value each BrownTrouter for what they individually bring to our company. Stephen Covey says, “Valuing the differences is the essence of synergy.” We believe that unique individuals make the best team. Our concern for each other keeps us focused on the value we offer our customers as well. IF YOU CAN LAUGH TOGETHER, YOU CAN WORK TOGETHER. We aim to foster a non-threatening warm environment for our employees. Each is respected for who they are and what they bring to BrownTrout. We celebrate diversity and believe that is what makes us strong, and makes our work area fun and vibrant! STAY THE COURSE. TRUST ONE ANOTHER. COLLABORATE EFFECTIVELY. We have tried over the years many different products. We are constantly innovating. Some new products succeed, others do not. But without the failures we would not have the successes. And so we stay the course and trust one another and believe that we will only succeed if we are open to new ideas and concepts. LET'S STAY CONNECTED BrownTrout Publishers, Inc.
