Earth Products made several promotions in
the sales force for the Planet Earth and Adio Footwear brands.

For Planet Earth, Chad Crites has been promoted to the Planet Earth Sales Manager,
which will positively impact the brand’s specialty retailers with more attention to their
specific needs. Chad excelled at growing Planet Earth’s key accounts and high
expectations are laid out for his work with specialty accounts that are vital to the success
of the Planet Earth brand. Chad formerly served as the Adio and Planet Earth Key
Accounts Sales Manger, managing and growing top accounts like Zumiez and CCS by
over 150%. Before Earth Products he was the National sales manager for Clive. Jeff
Ellis was also promoted as the new Key Accounts Sales Manager. Jeff already has a
great understanding of Planet Earth’s key account business, and how they operate
which make this a perfect fit.

Adio Footwear also promoted JJ Catlett to the East Coast Adio Sales Manager. JJ most
recently served as the Mid-Atlantic Sales Rep (Adio/Planet Earth and Hawk), growing
the territory by over 400% in the past 2 years. Having a dedicated Adio Sales Manger on
the East Coast is truly beneficial, allowing both both the East Coast market and the Adio
brand specialized focus where it counts.
