Pinehurst, NC (February 27, 2012) – Matt Molloy, a 20-year veteran of the golf industry, announced today that he has launched an entirely new type of golf services business, Global Sports Brands, LLC (GSB) that encompasses Global Golf Distribution, Inside and Outside Sales Support, Marketing, Fulfillment and Accounting Services all operated from a 14,000 sq. ft. facility in the Pinehurst, North Carolina area.
Global Sports Brands, LLC will be led by Mr. Molloy. Mr. Molloy graduated from Colgate University as the Captain of their Golf Team, played professionally on a wide range of Tours and has run several successful companies in the golf industry. In 2004, he Co-Founded Rife Putters, helped raise several rounds of capital, and in 2007 became President of the company.
In 2010, Mr. Molloy resigned from Rife Putters and became the Vice President of Global Distribution for Performance Sports Brands, Inc. (PSBI). PSBI, in conjunction with its subsidiary The Golf Agency, has been the leading producer of direct to consumer TV commercials on the Golf Channel for the last 15 years. PSBI and TGA were responsible for some of the most successful direct response television and branding campaigns the industry has ever seen including: SkyCaddie, Orlimar, AJ Golf, Tour Striker, and the now widely successful Swingsmart project, just to name a few.
Mr. Molloy left PSBI early in 2012 to pursue a vision he had for a new type of product distribution and fulfillment company. Mr. Molloy saw that many companies with great products had an extremely hard time breaking into the golf market. With GSB, Mr. Molloy has created a company that can provide an all-in-one solution for companies that possess products with unique marketing and sales propositions and wish to enter the golf market in a cost efficient fashion.
“From our facility we are uniquely able to provide our clients with a one stop option in which they can utilize our management teams’ over 150 years of golf expertise to assist them in properly setting up their business while keeping expenses to an absolute minimum,” states Mr. Molloy. “We can provide services and skilled personnel from a highly trained inside sales team, to the creation of an outside sales force managed by a choice of national sales managers. We can also help them design marketing campaigns, develop global distribution, perform fulfillment operations, provide customer service, technical support, accounting, customize golf specific ecommerce sites, social media strategies and a wide array of other backend
administrative services for all our clients. The cost of setting this up for a single product startup company in this highly competitive market is extremely cost prohibitive and will prevent good, deserving products from ever reaching the market. This is where GSB steps in as we are fighting for the little guy who has a nose for innovation with an idea and a vision but needs platform for getting it out to the golfing public”
About Global Sports Brands, LLC (GSB)
With Industry sales veterans Matt Molloy, Steve Sacks, Dick Caverly, Danny Kirby, Greg Kelly, and many others with well over 150 years of combined golf specific experience, GSB is positioned unlike any other company in the industry to help young, emerging companies find cost effective and efficient avenues to get their products to market by using GSB’s economies of scale. GSB has established a very specific and proprietary formula for helping their clients do just this. But unlike other distribution companies, GSB only works with a very select group of clients on an annual basis. “We are not a catalog based company with 100 products. We focus on building lasting companies based on strong brands and innovation. Whether it is helping with product development or sourcing, developing a complete sales force, marketing campaigns, PR, or a distribution package, we work with our clients to provide them with a global game plan that is specifically suited to their needs,” said Mr. Molloy. “The key to our success is focusing on products with unique selling propositions that can be highly competitive in their sectors, and are technologically superior to the competition. This all lends itself to great marketing stories. These companies know and buy into our formula before they partner with GSB.”
