Ten Companies Turn to Sprout Marketing for Economically Sound Marketing Services

Agency’s Outsourced Marketing Department Model Connects with Clients

SALT LAKE CITY – Dec. 16, 2008 - Sprout Marketing, a next-generation integrated marketing firm, today announced the addition of ten new accounts: BYU Broadcasting, CodeBaby, Feel Fit Enterprises, I.T. Now, Mountain Care Pharmacy, Nelson Labs, ONYX Graphics, ProPay, Property Solutions International, and Sundrop Fuels.

In light of the current economic struggles, businesses are turning to Sprout Marketing because of the firm’s unique model: for a monthly fee equivalent to the salary of a single marketing executive, Sprout clients use a full-service, integrated marketing team with specialized expertise in high level strategy, market research, executive coaching, web marketing, public relations, advertising, events and tradeshows, and more.

“Even though Utah’s economy is among the top in the nation, local businesses see the efficiency and value in what Sprout has to offer,” said Bruce Law, founder and CEO of Sprout Marketing. “The bottom line is they can hire an expensive Vice President of Marketing with no staff or services, or they can hire Sprout and get the power of a full marketing department.”

The announcement of new clients continues to reflect a strong growth period for Sprout, who made a similar announcement in September of this year. Sprout’s client portfolio covers an extremely wide range of industries, from biotechnology and information technology to consumer retail and corporate services.

Several representatives of Sprout clientele were also named to the list.

2008 marks the third consecutive year Law has been named to the v|100, and the first for Carr. The recognition is due in large part to the continued growth and success of Sprout, which has served as an outsourced marketing department for some of Utah’s most prominent companies.

“This award is so meaningful because the people on it have been nominated and then selected by their peers,” Law said. “I have great pride in the services Sprout Marketing provides other entrepreneurs, and am honored to be recognized for that.”

"I downplayed it a little, but in reality I was excited. I have always wanted to be thought of as an entrepreneur," said Carr. "Now I have to live up to those expectations. This next year we’re going to do some amazing things."

Executives from several Sprout client companies were also recognized, including Richard D. Hanks, chairman and president of Mindshare Technologies, Jim Thornton, CEO of Provo Craft & Novelty, Brent L. Bishop, chairman of the board of ContentWatch, and Jack W. Sunderlage, president and CEO of ContentWatch.

Since 2004, the v|100 is a group of current and future Utah entrepreneurs nominated and selected by their peers. The goal is to provide members with a network of peers with which to collaborate, including sharing ideas and mentoring.

Sprout Marketing serves as a marketing-department for hire to small businesses, providing executive leadership, branding, strategic public relations, interactive marketing, market research, advertising, collateral design, copywriting and other services.
