What Our Clients are Saying…
“Element Skateboards has worked with Leland Drummond and Michele Angeloni since 2007. We were so pleased with the results VonZipper was added to their roster in 2008. Whether itʼs celebrity product placements, vast coverage in the New York fashion magazines, blitzing the blogosphere with our latest product or arranging a meet and greet at a great LA/NY Hotel or nightspot, Azione is on it. With a keen understanding of the Action Sports industry and lifestyle, Leland and Michele specialize in taking our world to the outside, non-endemic world. They live it and they love it!”
- Mark Tinkess, Executive Vice President, Billabong
“Element’s emergence into mainstream media channels has grown 1000% due largely to Azioneʼs efforts and ability to communicate our brand and product story while always helping us achieve the most appropriate messaging for our strategy. Leland and Michele’s vast knowledge and contact base have elevated Element to a level we have not yet experienced and one that continues to help us evolve on a daily basis.”
- Johnny Schillereff, Founder & President Element Skateboards
“Leland and Michele are brand evangelists and I trust them to tell our story to the world. I rely heavily on their expertise and their unique ability to connect our brand with tastemakers in our industry. With their strategic planning and connections weʼve been building a positive brand riot for Skullcandy and Iʼd recommend their work to anyone looking to do the same.”
- Brett Barlow, Marketing Director Skullcandy Inc.
“With their broad relationship base, Leland & Michele have been instrumental in bridging the PR gap between VonZipper’s endemic and nonendemic markets. They have assisted VZ with events, product placement, celebrity seeding, launching new collections and introductions to editors from all forms of media outlets. I believe in them and have recommended them to several other companies which are now clients as well. If you are looking for a PR group that encompasses both the action sports, fashion and broad media- look no further….”
- Greg (GT) Tomlinson, Co-Founder VonZipper
