Wireless marketing pioneers mark five years of success

Pacific Northwest telecommunications veterans serve international and national giants; utilize product-to-market strategies in the wireless space.

VANCOUVER, Wash., (Sept 26, 2008) – After spending over 12 years each contributing to the growth of AT&T Wireless, starting an agency specializing in mobile marketing seemed like a natural progression for Brian Linver and Kim Strappazon. The seasoned wireless industry veterans shared a passion and a vision that evolved into Pinnacle Marketing Group, Inc. (PMG), of Vancouver, Wash.

Now, five years later, and with 20 staff members, PMG is a full service marketing agency specialized in strategic consulting, advertising and promotions, event management, and training and incentive programs. What sets PMG apart from others is their knowledge of the mobile industry and their understanding of how it is revolutionizing marketing for the future.

“Pinnacle Marketing Group has clearly demonstrated their comprehensive knowledge of the wireless landscape, the vision to anticipate directional changes and an ability to mobilize quickly to develop powerful marketing programs; they have definitely been an outstanding asset for our business,” says Karen Morris, Vice President of marketing for Sony Ericsson North America.

PMG works within the swiftly changing communications industry providing innovative marketing solutions for clients such as Sony Ericsson, Microsoft, Blockbuster, Sprint, Disney, Cricket Wireless, and others. When asked about what makes PMG so successful, Kim Strappazon stated "the key to our success is PIE - People, Integrity and Excellence. We hire develop and retain great people, we choose and maintain ethical relationships and we believe that excellence is a habit."

Established in 2003, PMG is a privately held company and does not disclose financials; however, agency principals say the billings continue to grow rapidly and are on course to gross around $10 million annually.
