Location: Chanhassen, Minnesota, United States
Andrew H. Clemens, executive sales representative for large-format printing, retail displays and fixtures for the retail industry at The Bernard Group, has been recognized by Marquis Who’s Who Top Executives for dedication, achievements, and leadership in advertising services.
Mr. Clemens has devoted the entirety of his professional life to commercial printing, beginning with learning the essentials at a print shop owned by his parents. He took on his first job in the industry at the age of 24, becoming a sales representative for Creek Litho. From there, Mr. Clemens held sales positions with numerous organizations, including Reflections Printing, the National Golf Network, and Paper on Demand. Throughout these various roles, he established himself as a reliable representative in the competitive printing space with the ability to navigate the needs of clients.
Recognized for his quality of work, Mr. Clemens has served as an executive sales representative at The Bernard Group since 2007. In this position, he specializes in large-format printing, retail displays and fixtures for the retail industry. That area of focus reflects Mr. Clemens’ ability to adapt to a swiftly changing market; he pivoted toward working primarily with retail channels as a response to the rise of the internet, which caused many traditional marketing efforts that would have benefited from commercial printing to transition to digital. Under his thoughtful guidance across the last 18 years, The Bernard Group has weathered this major shift and remains successful where many printing companies have struggled or gone out of business.
Among his many accomplishments throughout a career of more than 30 years, Mr. Clemens is most proud of his notable project assisting in a full rebrand of Delta Air Lines. He and his team at the Bernard Group prototyped, tested and carried out extensive design ideas for Delta signage and retail fixtures. Since then, Mr. Clemens has had the satisfaction of watching as the updated designs have been implemented in over 300 airports across 59 countries. The client at Delta with whom he worked has been promoted multiple times, and the project was considered a huge success that contributed to Delta Air Lines becoming one of the leading airlines in the United States.
Known for his contributions as a civic-minded citizen, Mr. Clemens is involved in numerous efforts to improve the world beyond his primary vocation. He has sponsored Concerts in the Park events and supports the UnitedHealthcare Children’s Foundation. Additionally, Mr. Clemens has contributed to charities through The Bernard Group.
Prior to beginning his professional journey, Mr. Clemens completed coursework at Winona State University. He credits his success to the support and collaboration of the people he has worked with throughout his career. Mr. Clemens is a firm believer in the power of teamwork and also acknowledges how he has learned from mentors throughout his life. He makes a point to help colleagues whenever possible and in whatever ways he can, carrying that positive attitude into his relationship with clients as well.
Outside of his work in printing, Mr. Clemens is a dedicated husband and a loving father to two children. In his free time, he enjoys relaxing by Lotus Lake in Chanhassen, Minnesota. Though he has been with The Bernard Group for nearly 20 years, Mr. Clemens remains committed to the company. His primary goal for the future is to increase sales for the company and ensure continued client satisfaction. Mr. Clemens intends to stay with The Bernard Group until his retirement.
