Zimmerman Advertising hired by world's fastest-growing sports nutrition company to grow even faster

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., March 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Zimmerman Advertising, one of the nation's leading retail agencies, announced today that BPI Sports, the world's fastest-growing sports nutrition company, has selected it as its agency of record. The account is valued at $15 million annually.

Zimmerman will help transform the Hollywood, Fla.-based company into an iconic national brand, develop and execute an omni-channel retail strategy and rapidly grow its business.

"Hiring an ad agency is a key ingredient to significantly grow our business, establish BPI Sports as the premier sports nutrition brand, and position our company as an iconic, multi-channel business," said James Grage, co-founder and executive vice president of BPI Sports. "Most agencies are full of smoke and mirrors and don't deliver on what they promise. It was refreshing to finally find one who's as good at making ads as they are at making money for their clients. I have no doubt Zimmerman will generate powerful results for BPI."

"I believe in BPI's products, business, leadership and what the brand stands for. It is the first supplement company to hire an independent company, ChromaDex, to authenticate and validate that what's on the label is in the product. These kinds of strengths and values are the foundation for building an iconic brand," said Jordan Zimmerman, Founder and Chairman of Zimmerman Advertising. "I have extremely high aspirations for BPI. I will not be satisfied until every health and sports enthusiast in the U.S. knows how far superior BPI's products are and how outstanding its brand is."

"We work best with fighters – people that, no matter how successful they are, have something to prove. People, like us, who are relentless, impatient, demanding, and driven. Let's just say it was a match made in heaven," said Michael Goldberg, CEO of Zimmerman Advertising. "I know this is the beginning of a great partnership that will accomplish great things."

Today's announcement comes just days after American Media, Inc., the leader in health and fitness content, selected Zimmerman as its agency to help transform and grow its business, specifically its health and fitness brands, including Men's Fitness, Muscle & Fitness, Muscle & Fitness Hers, and Flex. Zimmerman has deep experience working with food, restaurants and nutrition products and brands. Previously, the agency did work for Vitamin Shoppe; Smart for Life Weight Management Centers and ShopKo.
