How SwagWear Delivered Premium Tech Swag for IonQ's Boulder Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony

The Brief

When IonQ — one of the world's leading quantum computing companies — opened their brand new facility in Boulder, Colorado, they wanted to mark the occasion with something memorable. Tor Constantino from IonQ's Global Marketing Communications team reached out to SwagWear needing swag for approximately 70 ribbon-cutting ceremony attendees, with a budget of $1,000–$1,500 and a hard deadline of May 12, 2026.

The Challenge

The budget worked out to roughly $20–$70 per person depending on quantity, which required creative thinking. The IonQ team initially considered a simple branded hat, but the Boulder team wanted something more substantial — something that reflected the innovation and precision IonQ is known for. SwagWear had to find a premium tech gift that felt worthy of the occasion without blowing the budget.

The SwagWear Solution

The team presented three curated tech options in the $70 range:

• A Mophie 20,000mAh power bank — capable of charging up to 3 devices simultaneously or providing 4 full smartphone charges
• A Mophie 10,000mAh power bank paired with a Case Logic tech organizer
• A Bellboy Mini tech kit — a newly launched premium organizer from a best-in-class brand

The IonQ team quickly rallied around the branded multi-charger kit with branded case — a practical, high-perceived-value gift that attendees would actually use long after the ceremony. The order was placed for 50 units, all shipped directly to IonQ's Boulder facility to the attention of Adrienne Wuellner at their new Shipping & Receiving entrance.

"Everyone loves the branded multi-charger kit with branded case." — Tor Constantino, Strategic Communications, IonQ

The Result

50 branded tech kits arrived at IonQ Boulder in time for the May 12 ribbon-cutting ceremony — a fitting gift for a company building the future of quantum computing.
