Adrenaline Marketing Recruited by the Alliance of Action Sports

Adrenaline Marketing is moving into the action sports arena with its newest client Alli, The Alliance of Action Sports. Alli is a global business that encompasses national and international action sports tours and events, multimedia production, and a consumer-facing lifestyle brand.

Alli has partnered with Adrenaline Marketing for strategic planning and activation initiatives for the Dew Tour, a series of action sports events featuring skateboarding, BMX, FMX, snowboarding and free-skiing in eight cities from June to February.

According to America Sports Data (2007), in the U.S. alone there are 11.6 million skateboarders, 6.88 million snowboarders and 3 million BMX participants.
