Communications, a leading provider of marketing consulting services to the
media and entertainment industry, today announced a strategic alliance with
MAR$AR Sports & Entertainment, Bedford Hills, NY, a global consulting
company focused on sales and business development to the sports and

The first offering from this strategic alliance
-- "NAB:3P" --
is specifically designed for exhibitors at the upcoming National Association of

technology, we believe that it is vital for NAB exhibitors to focus on the
three 'Ps' --
prospects, press and profits," said Randy Savicky, Founder
and CEO of Strategy + Communications.

help them achieve that, we have specifically joined with MAR$AR Sports &
Entertainment to offer a suite of services that stresses the three 'Ps'
by tightly integrating marketing, sales and business development into an
extremely cost-effective package."

services to the decision-makers in the sports and entertainment industry with
Strategy + Communications' proven ability to generate media coverage and booth
interviews for clients, NAB exhibitors now have an outsourced powerhouse that
makes it easy for them to get the most out of the show," said Mark
Jeffers, President of MAR$AR Sports & Entertainment. "We work closely with exhibitors
as their trusted partner, offering our combined 50 years of experience in the
industry, including dozens of NAB shows with companies of all sizes and stages."
