About Distinctive Assets:

Ever wonder just how the tradition for over-the-top swag began at all the major award shows, including the American Music Awards, the GRAMMY®s, the Latin GRAMMY®s. Academy of Country Music, HBO Comedy Festival, and Kid’s Choice Awards, among others? Distinctive Assets is one of the first companies to begin that craze, and they are delighted to continue the tradition - which began in 2003- of acknowledging so many talented non-winning Emmy nominees.
