LAS VEGAS, NV -- (MARKET WIRE) -- February 20, 2007 -- Striker VIP, Inc., among the world's
preeminent five-star Las Vegas host, concierge and event services
providers, today announced that it has selected Kern Communications as its
official agency of record to create and implement national and regional
public relations campaigns. Striker VIP creates fully customized,
once-in-a-lifetime luxury travel experiences for the world's most
discriminating consumers.
Among Kern Communications' primary mandates is to establish Striker VIP's
figurehead and "living brand," Steven Striker, to the national media as
"the" go-to guy for expert commentary and perspective on all things Las
Vegas -- particularly related to how luxury, high-end travelers can gain
privileged entry into the city's notorious "inner circle." A natural born
entrepreneur, "Striker," as he is called, leverages his larger than life
reputation, powerful connections, extensive Rolodex™ and
well-established relationships at all levels of the Las Vegas "food chain"
to the distinct benefit of his clientele, who enjoy nothing less than royal
treatment while under his care.
For over a decade, Striker VIP has cultivated unforgettable Las Vegas
experiences for a long list of who's who celebrities and sports icons,
including the likes of Jerry Rice, Terrell Owens, Matt Lauer, Mick
Fleetwood, Mark Steines, David Justice, Tom Sizemore, Amani Toomer and
Ahman Green, as well as a litany of "A" list individuals and corporate
customers. Beyond well-known personalities and affluent luxury lifestyle
consumers, Striker VIP's client list also boasts an array of Fortune 500,
1000 and other key players across multiple industries.
Striker VIP did not issue a formal request for proposal for the public
relations contract, but spoke individually to a variety of firms. "We
chose Kern Communications due to the agency's stellar reputation and track
record for securing top-tier media coverage across all mediums: television,
radio, online and print," said Striker VIP founder and CEO, Steven Striker.
"To her credit, Kern Communications' principal, Merilee Kern, also
demonstrated a strong understanding of our unique business model and the
niched marketplace we serve, along with a passion for exceeding her
client's expectations. All combined, Kern Communications was the clear
choice to represent us."
Merilee Kern notes, "We are thrilled to work with Steven Striker who, with
his $3,000 pin-striped suits, hand-rolled cigars and infamous connections,
is a true throw-back to the bygone days of 'Old School' Vegas. We're eager
to educate and enlighten the national media about the one-of-a-kind Steven
Striker and his fascinating Striker VIP operation, which defines the Las
Vegas 'scene' and bestows upon its clients instantaneous 'insider' status
to the best Las Vegas has to offer."
