WESTPORT, CT (June 18, 2002) - Velocity
Sports & Entertainment has been recognized as one
of the nation's top twenty marketing/promotional agencies
by PROMO Magazine, the promotion industry's leading
publication, in it's annual ranking of the top 100 promotional
firms.
In just three years, Velocity has emerged as the top-ranked
sponsorship marketing agency in the PROMO 100, and established
its standing among traditional promotion agencies with
its ranking at number 19. Velocity's unique blend of
sponsorship marketing and promotional expertise propelled
it from its number 99 ranking in 2001 - an unprecedented
80 spot jump. Velocity's dramatic revenue growth since
1999 (291%) was one of the primary criteria in determining
this move. However, PROMO Magazine's evaluation of Velocity's
client programs was of equal importance.
Velocity has helped clients such as FedEx, IBM, Texaco
and Cingular Wireless develop breakthrough sponsorship
marketing programs. These client successes have also
allowed Velocity to expand geographically. The agency
now operates offices in Wilton, CT; Washington D.C.;
Atlanta, GA; San Francisco, CA and Chicago, IL.
Velocity principal Mike Reisman said, "In this
age of consolidation, our dramatic rise into PROMO's
top twenty agencies reinforces our core purpose: to
remain independent and focused on our core business,
rather than trying to be everything to everybody. We
have fostered an environment in which we provide the
best of breed strategic thinking and creative program
development."
Velocity's principals - David Grant, Alex Nieroth and
Bob Wilhelmy as well as Reisman - have more than 80
years experience helping clients maximize the value
of their sports and entertainment sponsorship efforts.
Velocity offers clients a wide array of sponsorship,
event, promotional, hospitality, meeting planning, negotiating,
measurement and other marketing services. Velocity's
founders include the principals as well as Jody Bennett, Kelly Lyons and Karen Shimp.
