Pickleball Marketing News – January 5, 2024
Happy New Year! 2024 is already off to an incredible start for Brian Gainor and me. It is with great pleasure that he announces the launch of Gainor Sports, an innovative sports marketing and advisory practice that Brian has been diligently building over the years as he’s worked the last 15+ years for Legends, 4Front and GMR Marketing.
I met Brian 17 years ago, and since then, I have always admired his work ethic, creative ideas, and unwavering support for me and my agency, Vossberg Gainor, that I launched 4 years ago.
It is a tremendous honor to now embrace entrepreneurship together under one roof! We look forward to individually enjoying living and working on what we love, running our respective practices. With the opportunity for some crossover and collaboration as the world of pickleball continues to grow.
Brian will focus on assisting teams, leagues, and organizations worldwide in driving significant new sponsorship, revenue, and fan growth. Meanwhile, I will continue my dedication to helping brands, agencies, destinations, players, and communities navigate the dynamic world of pickleball through my consulting agency, Vossberg Gainor.
Additionally, I am thrilled to continue celebrating the pickleball lifestyle and curating unique, experiential events for brands, celebrities and communities through the Pickleball in the Sun brand.
Here’s to a successful and fulfilling venture ahead, while shouting unique ideas across the house, to our respective offices 🙂 As well as to be able to get out more together in the local Jacksonville and Ponte Vedra, Florida communities.
It’s truly an honor to both be fulfilling our dreams and demonstrating how hard work can lead to building a company, all with the aim of inspiring our incredible kiddos, Clara and Garrett. And bringing them on as junior associates.
We wish everyone a happy and healthy 2024, with much success doing what you love!
