Advertising with Athletic Business has always been a key component of our marketing strategy to reach the many audiences we target. As we seek continued expansion of the Matrix brand into relevant channels, we rely on Athletic Business to increase and maintain our presence in the industry through the magazine, online and in-person at AB Show – and they haven't let us down!

It's always a fun and positive experience working with Athletic Business. I appreciate the collaborative relationship we have, knowing they have my best interest in mind.

What Our Clients Are Saying

"After engaging with AB, the qualified leads have grown considerably such that we are looking at increasing our sales staff to handle the volume and the numbers on the back end support that growth.  We are reaching the educational institutions and non-profit organizations at a higher rate and the impact can be traced back to the landing pages links clicked from the digital or print advertising through AB ."
