Award-winning PR Firm Also to Seek Sponsors for NASCAR Hopeful, Phil Gill
BOCA RATON, Fla., Aug. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Tom Gill Racing in Cincinnati has retained TransMedia Group to publicize and recruit sponsors for 15-year- old Legends 600 race car driver Phi Gill, considered one of the top 10 race car drivers in his class in the country.
TransMedia has already secured feature stories on young Gill in the Cincinnati Enquirer as well as in the debut issue of Riot Magazine in Oct., targeting boys ages 9 through 16 years. Phil will be featured as a role model for its pre-teen readership.
TMG's Director of Client Business Development, RoseMarie LaCoursiere, is already in discussions with prospective sponsors, including major game companies whose customers are teens and pre teens.
"We believe that Phil Gill offers sponsors targeting teens an outstanding opportunity to be represented by a clean-cut, personable youth who has the commitment, drive and talent to become a champion race car driver," she said.
According to TransMedia account executive Michael Gustman, "Phil has been racing since he was five years old and dreams of becoming a leading NASCAR driver." Currently Phil races his legend car in the Legend 600 Series, in which he has chalked up six victories and finished fourth place recently at the MotorMusic Speedway in Nashville, out of a pack comprising many of the top drivers in the country, Gustman said.
"We are excited to have TransMedia's experience, resources and creativity on our team," said Tom Gill, who is Phil's father and crew chief.
