Red Strike Announces New Contracts

New marketing consultancy Red Strike Marketing has announced that it has
won a number of new high-profile contracts since launching earlier this
year, and is now working with sporting organisations such as the
Marussia Virgin Racing Formula One team, the Global Ocean Race and Leeds
United Football Club.

The UK-based company has also taken on a
consultancy role to the Saudi Arabia Sports Agency – a new advisory
board set up by the office of Prince Faisal.  ? ?Red Strike Marketing’s
new client portfolio includes a five-year contract as the exclusive
sponsorship agency for the Global Ocean Race.

The company has a
contract with the Marussia Virgin Racing Formula One team to secure a
range of commercial partners for the start of the 2012 season and with
Leeds United to develop a number of special projects. ? ?In addition to
new wins, Red Strike Marketing continues to work with founding client
Capita Symonds.

The property and infrastructure company is
aiming to build on its own sporting credentials that include the
construction of the new roof for Wimbledon’s centre court and the
completion of Wembley stadium.

The relationship with the Capita
Group, sees both parties working on a series of national and
international marketing initiatives. ? ?Macron, the Italian technical
sportswear manufacturer and designer, is also an existing Red Strike
Marketing client.

The consultancy has helped set up a number of
football kit licensing deals for Macron, with clubs including West Ham
United, Leeds United, Charlton Athletic, Millwall and Sheffield United.
? ?Mike Farnan, CEO of Red Strike Marketing, said: ‘The Red Strike
Marketing team has considerable experience working for right holders,
agencies and high profile brands’.

‘This contrasting expertise
and understanding helps us maximise the sporting relationships. We are
able to offer a unique, multi-layered approach to help brands and
organisations that invest in sport, deliver the best return of
investment’.
