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!

What Our Clients Are Saying

"In fact, the Athletic Business audience is so perfectly aligned with our target market that I was even meeting with a prospect when one of our Custom E-Mails through AB was delivered to his inbox and he said, ‘Wow! You guys are everywhere!’ That was a rewarding experience to see one of our advertisements in action."
