Momentum Advertising & Design, who was selected by the Empire State Games Local Organizing Committee to be the official advertising agency for the 2005 Empire State Games, was honored at the Sponsor Appreciation Event held at the Belvedere Mansion in Rhinebeck this week. Momentum was recognized by Douglas Smith, Senior Vice President of HSBC Bank and Vice Chairman for the Empire State Games.
“Everything that you saw at the Games, the ads, the banners, the billboards, were created by Momentum and they looked great,” said Mr. Smith. “We never could have done it without them.” He then presented Momentum President Steve Mayhew with a plaque that recognized Momentum’s efforts.
Momentum, who created the theme “6,000 Extraordinary Athletes…1 Extraordinary Setting,” also designed the gatefold brochure that was presented to each sponsor that evening. The brochure contained samples of all the materials that were created as part of their specific sponsorship. “I thought your Empire State Games packet was beautiful,” commented Jeanine Agnolet, VP Public Relations for Health Quest and Vice Chair Public Relations and Marketing of the Games
. “It made me feel really good about everything that I personally was able to do through the entire project.”
