“Clear Channel Entertainment has helped to grow the EA SPORTS Supercross into such a phenomenon that we felt it was necessary to seek an outside agency to assist with the seemingly endless task of generating the press this series deservedly needs. OMS is the perfect fit. Its PR staff includes personnel with an intimate and experienced grasp of inner workings of supercross, coupled with passion to continue to grow the sport in a fashion that benefits the entire motorcycle industry.”
