Hire Sports Speakers Website Launched
New website to locate and hire professional sports athlete speakers for corporate events, keynote speaking meetings, and business luncheons.
PRWEB) May 23, 2005 -- Brooks International Speakers Bureau and Dreams, Inc.
have teamed up to launch Hire Sports Speakers (www.hiresportsspeakers.com), a new speaker’s bureau designed
exclusively around bringing sports celebrities to events for keynote and
motivational speeches.
Because of the longstanding relationships with
sports personalities that both organizations enjoy, Hire Sports Speakers will
feature an extensive network of contacts that cover all major sports to include
baseball, golf, football, basketball, hockey, auto racing and more.
The
idea was borne from the longtime friendship of the presidents of both companies,
Maureen Brooks and Ross Tannenbaum. The two enjoyed a working relationship that
spanned twenty years before deciding to introduce Hire Sports Speakers
together.
Maureen Brooks, President of Brooks International (www.brooksinternational.com), explained the combination of the
two groups as synergistic. “Over the last twenty years, we’ve seen sports grow
to an increasingly large part of our business. It only seemed natural to have a
separate division devoted to athletes, coaches and other sports
personalities.”
In addition to motivational speeches and athlete
appearances, Hire Sports Speakers will offer corporate sales of sports
memorabilia and endorsement opportunities. The items will be drawn from Dreams
Inc.’s extensive inventory. Tannenbaum said that the combination of sports
appearances and sports items was natural. "Sports personalities can bring a
level of excitement to an event that you can’t get otherwise. Everybody loves to
meet their hero, and it’s even better if they can bring home an autograph, a
game ball, or even a framed photo of their favorite athlete.”
Higher
Sports Speakers, which went live on Monday, May 2, has already seen large
numbers of sports appearance inquiries. Brooks was excited about the project
going forward. “We’ve already seen business from existing clients that are
seeing us in a new light, as well as groups that hadn’t even heard of us before.
They’re saying that it’s a great resource for meeting and conference
planners.”
Meeting planners can get more information on bringing sports
personalities to their event by visiting www.hiresportsspeakers.com. Online profiles and searches are
available, and content is updated daily.
