On April 22, 2009, Soccer is a Kick in the Grass radio announced an advertising partnership with Soccer America magazine, the longest running soccer publication in the United States. Soccer is a Kick in the Grass banner ads will appear regularly on www.socceramerica.com and on subscription newsletters twice weekly. Soccer America will sponsor both the radio show each week and the News page of www.soccerisakickinthegrass.com, which will include RSS feeds from a number of Soccer America online blogs.
Doug Murdock, Manager of Sales and Marketing for Soccer America, says, "We're excited about partnering with 'Soccer is a Kick in the Grass' to promote our soccer products. Online streaming and podcasts of their fine radio show are a valuable resource for North America's soccer community”.
“It is a natural pairing”, added Andrew Battisti, co-host of Soccer is a Kick in the Grass. “The teaming up of the first US-based soccer-specific print outlet with the first soccer radio show in North America will be of great mutual benefit. We hope that this partnership will help bring awareness of Soccer America and our radio show to a whole new audience. On a personal note, my Soccer America magazine archives going back almost 20 years are a vital part of my show prep each week.”
Soccer America magazine has been in print since 1971 and currently publishes full-color monthly issues featuring complete coverage of U.S. National teams, Major League Soccer, USL, the World Cup, international and women's competition. In addition, Soccer America e-delivers breaking soccer news and opinion daily through their array of email newsletters and online at www.socceramerica.com. |
