Company Partnering with More Than 100 Universities
Birmingham, AL – Power Force LLC with its popular ion-infused wristband has become the preferred or official supplier of ion infused products for many of the top college athletic programs in the country.
Power Force, which worked with The Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC), an IMG Company, to become licensed with nearly 100 institutions to produce collegiate ion infused products, has made a marketing commitment to support many of these same institutions as an advertiser and sponsor of the universities’ athletic programs. Through recent agreements with the most recognized sports marketing and multimedia companies in the country – IMG College, a division of IMG Worldwide, and Learfield Sports – Power Force has been designated the official or preferred supplier at many of the collegiate institutions represented by those marketing organizations.
“Power Force is poised to become the dominant supplier of ion infused sportswear to collegiate athletic departments, athletes, sports fans and consumers of all ages,” company spokesman Guy Savage says. “We have a very ambitious business plan and are working aggressively to implement it. We believe that directly associating our company with our partners at IMG, Learfield and CLC will enable us to achieve a national level of success that would have been impossible otherwise.”
Through its marketing agreements, Power Force will also receive prominent exposure throughout the collegiate athletic landscape, including game-day radio broadcast, in-stadium signage and on-campus displays.
“It is great to have a company new to the college market come in and make a big commitment to supporting our institutions,” stated Ben Sutton, President of IMG’s College Division. “It reinforces our belief that college fans are the most passionate and loyal consumers when supporting their teams.”
“We are excited to partner with Power Force as a new sponsor,” added Greg Brown, President and CEO of Learfield Sports. “Their desire to capture the enthusiasm of college athletics to enhance their business makes it a win-win for our collegiate properties.”
Power Force LLC was launched in 2010 and has quickly gained national recognition for its ion-infused wristband, which like all Power Force innovative products works with the body’s energy to give its wearer increased confidence and performance.
Power Force products are now available online and in athletic department stores and college bookstores across the nation.
