BMW Newest Just Marketing International Client
ZIONSVILLE, IN - (April 2, 2008) - Just Marketing International (JMI) will assist BMW of North America with developing and executing partnership and acquisition strategies throughout North American motorsports, it was announced today.
Primary to that commitment is support of a newly announced BMW M3 racing effort in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS). The two-car GT2 class team will be fielded by Columbus, Ohio based Rahal Letterman Racing. Following extensive 2008 development and testing of the BMW M3 race car, the Bobby Rahal-owned team will contest the full 2009 ALMS schedule.
On behalf of BMW, the JMI role will range from identifying and assessing assets, developing and implementing a market sales process, developing related sales and collateral materials, partner identification, negotiation and contract support. JMI will provide additional value by providing a full range of motorsports marketing activation solutions geared toward driving quantifiable return-on-investment.
"Whether built for the highway or the race track, all BMW vehicles share a common blend of quality, performance and efficiency," said Zak Brown, Founder/CEO. "We are very confident that our proven partnership acquisition strategies and capabilities will accelerate BMW's ALMS campaign in attracting and maintaining long-term sponsor partners."
In addition to the historic M3 effort in ALMS, BMW is well represented throughout North American motorsports including Grand-Am, SCCA and the newly reorganized and renamed Formula BMW Americas. The popular open-wheel series now adds a pair of events in conjunction with the Brazilian Formula One Grand Prix that round out a 14-race schedule.
"As the global leader in motorsports marketing, we are delighted to have Zak Brown and his Just Marketing International team at our service," said Rich Brekus, General Manager, Product Planning and Strategy, BMW of North America.
