Founding Member

Mike Reisman is a principal and founding partner of Velocity Sports & Entertainment. Since 1981, he has been involved with the sponsorship marketing business except for a two-year stint with IBM's personal computer division in the mid-80's.

From 1992 to 1995, Mike was a partner in International Sports & Entertainment Strategies where he oversaw that agency's primary business – Corporate Consulting. ISES enjoyed revenue growth of over 150% over that time period before it was acquired by Clarion Marketing (1996-1999). Over that time period, Mike provided advice and counsel to such clients as FedEx, IBM, Shell Oil, MCI, Coca Cola, Kodak, Nabisco Brands, Reliant Energy, et al. He has also steered the direction of the corporate consulting businesses at ISES predecessor agencies Ohlmeyer Communications (1986-1990) and Sports Partners International (1990-1992). He landed the IBM business in 1986 and the FedEx account in 1992 – relationships the agency still enjoys today.

Mike began his career with the Ladies Professional Golf Association after graduating from St. Lawrence University (BA, Government). He lives in Easton, CT with his wife, Liz, and their children, Samantha and Charlie.
