Who We Are?

The Pickleball Marketing Group (PMG), was formed with the belief that the company’s founder Evan Morgenstein and his team, who possess over 30+ years of sports and experiential marketing experience will produce engaging events for your company.  There may be other agencies who can claim their team has more “on-court” experience, but when it comes to producing world-class events, providing counsel and creative ideas, PMG stands alone.

 

PMG is focused on social fitness not competitive league play. There are seemingly so many leagues and associations that can harness a competitive event.  PMG is squarely focused on various areas of the market that resonate with companies, brands and tradeshow/event organizers to provide a fun, social environment for all attendees including:

  • Corporate wellness
  • Employee retention
  • Customer/client events
  • Brand and retail events to drive store traffic
  • Tradeshow
  • Fairs, festivals and community events
  • Sporting events
  • Breweries and bars
  • Store openings
  • Special events including birthday parties, weddings, etc.

Pickleball is enjoyed by over 47 million Americans and growing fast.  The popularity of the sport is exploding amongst the 30-65 year-old demographic.  If your brand/company embraces pickleball before the competition does it will provide you a substantial audience to draw from that has disposable income, active lifestyles and the desire to be social with like-minded people in their community.

The Pickleball Marketing Group was formed with the understanding on how to get the most out of a limited engagement to impress and encourage your desired audience from first time players to pros.  PMG can brainstorm with your team on best practices, budgets, geography and allotted space to timing and on-site incremental activations to make your execution a once-in-a-lifetime event.
