Hallmark believes if you care enough you can change the world as we work to help create a more emotionally connected world in every life, every day. Founded in 1910 by a teenage entrepreneur with two shoe boxes of postcards under his arm, Hallmark today is still family owned and privately held. Headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, and employing tens of thousands worldwide, the company operates a diversified portfolio of businesses. The Hallmark business designs and sells greeting cards, gifts, ornaments and gift packaging in more than 25 languages with distribution in over 70 countries and 100,000 rooftops worldwide, including a network of independently-owned Hallmark Gold Crown stores in two countries. Hallmark Media is entertainment’s leading destination for feel-good content and operates three cable networks – Hallmark Channel, Hallmark Mystery, and Hallmark Family. Hallmark+ is the streaming service and membership program that delivers the very best of Hallmark all in one place, featuring a distinctive blend of all new, exclusive original series, movies, and other feel-good content plus monthly discounts and rewards for shopping at Hallmark retail stores and Hallmark.com. Crown Center is a real estate development company that manages the 85-acre hotel, office, entertainment and residential campus surrounding Hallmark’s headquarters.
