OMS Ltd. & National Promoters Group Join Forces For ‘02 MX Season

OMS to be”exclusive” marketing/sales & PR agency for Outdoor National Series

Officials at OMS Ltd. today announced the formation of an allegiance with the National Promoters Group – the 11 promoters of the popular U.S. Outdoor National Motocross Series. With the agreement, OMS Ltd. becomes the exclusive marketing and sales agency of the NPG’s outside-of-the-industry sponsorship inventory.

According to the NPG’s legal counsel, Carrie Coombs, the agreement came about as a result of OMS Ltd.’s successful efforts in acquiring sponsorship for the series last year. “The workload through out the year for the individual promoters that make up the NPG is incredible,” cited Coombs.”With that in mind, the NPG set out this year to identify an organization to assist in the ultra-important area of series sponsorship sales. We had worked with OMS in the past and are confident that the organization, given its proven track record, can continue to increase sponsorship revenue for the Outdoor Nationals.”

Spearheading the agreement with the NPG was OMS Ltd. founder Fred Bramblett. “OMS Ltd. has aligned itself with the Outdoor National Series for several years through its representation of a number of the top athletes on the tour,” he said. “We’ve found that, in addition to working with sponsorship sales with our clients, that series sponsorship opportunities would often arise. So given our company’s success in the field of motorcycle industry sponsorship, particularly with outside-the-industry sponsors, the exclusive marketing and agreement with the NPG presents us with an exciting opportunity.”

In addition, OMS Ltd. will also be working with the NPG as the PR and media development firm of record for the Outdoor Nationals Series.The terms of both deals were undisclosed.

OMS Ltd. is a global, full-service sport marketing agency specializing in athlete representation, strategic marketing partnerships, industry relations, licensing and merchandising opportunities in the world of Extreme Personal Powersports.

OMS Ltd. signs Pat Schutte as new Media Director

In an effort to bolster its leading position with client representation in the Extreme Personal Powersports industry, OMS Ltd. today announced it has hired former PACE Supercross PR manager Pat Schutte as its Director of Media – effective immediately.

Schutte,who spent the last two years working in auto industry for an agency representing such firms as DaimlerChrysler and General Motors, returns to powersports industry PR after a transitional summer internship with Racer Productions.

“I’m stoked to be back,” said Schutte, who will work out of an OMS satellite office in Ann Arbor, Mich. “I learned a great deal working with organizations the size of DaimlerChrysler and General Motors. And as exciting as auto racing can be, honestly, my heart was always with the motorcycle and action sports industry. I’m certainly looking forward to applying to OMS Ltd. clients what I learned by traveling all over the world with race cars. I also can’t wait to re-establish some of the friendships that I built when I was with PACE and the supercrossseries.”



Sharon Richards promoted to Director of Client and Customer Services

Richards,who was with Kawasaki for 12 years, will oversee the implementation of client services to OMS’ athletes competing all over the planet. In addition, she will liaise with OMS’ numerous industry sponsors, including American Honda, Parts Unlimited, Thor – as well as outside-the-industry sponsors such as Universal Studios, Dr. Martens, Journeys and AMSOIL.

“This new position is more in tune with what I’ve been involved with in the past,” said Richards. “I’m looking forward to assisting with the day-to-day intricacies of a fast-paced, global sports agency such as OMS. Be it supercross, motocross, freestyle, road racing, dirt track – whatever– myself, and our whole team at OMS, is looking forward to continual growth in 2002 and the years to come.”

Said OMS founder Fred Bramblett: “I’ve been working with Pat since his days with PACE, have seen first hand the results he can produce, and look forward to his contributions with OMS. Sharon is well known throughout the industry for her commitment to riders and the sport. Both will do nothing but increase the value of OMS to our clients.”
