Agency Aligns Itself With Premiere Sports Marketing Company
BOSTON, MA (January 14, 2008) - Today, Arnold announced a new sports marketing practice inside Arnold powered by TrinityOne Sports. The new offering combines Arnold’s 360 approach to brand-building and creative excellence with TrinityOne’s sports business expertise and consumer-centric approach to sports marketing. Through this partnership, a complete in-house sports marketing solution will be created for Arnold clients looking to maximize the impact and integration of their sport marketing initiatives as part of their overall brand marketing program. "We are thrilled to team up with TrinityOne in our efforts to expand our capability within the sports industry," said Pam Hamlin, President of Arnold. "By combining TrinityOne’s experience on the inside of the sports industry with Arnold’s creativity and holistic approach to building brands and businesses, we believe this venture gives us a considerable edge in this competitive market." "We are excited to align with Arnold and its group of creative geniuses,” said TrinityOne President and CEO Lou Imbriano. "This new venture and the collaboration of our two companies allows brands to approach their advertising and sports marketing in a more synergistic manner. Often these two areas are quite separate to one another, but when integrated with a consumer-centric approach, the results will be considerably more effective." With this partnership, Arnold brings experience with sports-related brands, including work on numerous print, television and brand promotions campaigns for ESPN, Titleist, Pinnacle, United States Tennis Association and FootJoy.
