Grammar
"offered from", or "offered by"...?
Hi!
I have been looking at some marketing material that has been created by my other half's company and I am suspicious about some of the grammar that has been used.
The thing that I'm not sure about is where they have used the following sentence on one of their promotional flyers:
It’s new! It’s here! The latest, most innovative & exciting product to be offered from ABC
My instinct is that it should say "offered by ABC" rather than "offered from ABC". Would I be right in thinking that?
Many thanks...

Well, the whole think is kind of 'marketing-speak', but I agree that 'by' is the best choice. I would also add 'most' after 'exciting' even though it is redundant by normal standards.
