Says Mitch Rogatz, President and Publisher of Triumph Books, “We are very excited about our new, independent direction—and connecting with our long-time colleagues and friends at IPG. They bring a lot of energy and focus to Triumph in terms of sales potential. This will be the first time Triumph’s books are represented by both gift rep and trade sales rep forces.
