DRIVEN WINS SUPERSTROKE GOLF ACCOUNT


 Ferndale, MI - DRIVEN has been awarded advertising and marketing duties for SuperStroke Golf, maker of one of the leading putter grips on the PGA Tour. The account was awarded to DRIVEN after an agency review by SuperStroke and included several other national competitive shops.

“We were looking for an agency partner that didn’t fit the traditional agency mold, because our products do not fit the traditional golf mode so to speak,” said Dean Dingman, President of SuperStroke. “This group thinks outside of the box from the very start and we’re excited for them to help us develop our brand as it continues to pick up steam around the world.”

The new AOR relationship will serve as a launch pad for SuperStroke to leverage the brand and retail presence that they have built in the marketplace over the past few seasons.  SuperStroke, is considered by many industry insiders to be one of the hottest putter grips on the PGA Tour and has generated much recognition on the Tour with players winning $20.1 million using SuperStroke putter grips.

“We’re very excited about working with SuperStroke,” says Brian Cusac, one of DRIVEN’s four Principals and Co Chief Creative Officer. “This is an exciting category for us to work in because of the strength of the SuperStroke product. It really is quite a departure from what people traditionally think about for putter grips.”

Over 100 PGA tour players have played SuperStroke grips on the PGA Tour, Nationwide Tour, Champions Tour and European Tour of the last three seasons.  Jason Dufner who has won two PGA Tour events this year uses the grip.  “This grip can help the best players in the world post better scores and improve their putting,” says Dingman,  “Golfers look for results and our grips are making things happen.”

“For golfers, this is breakthrough technology and we’re ready to help our new clients do some breakthrough work in the category,” says Kevin Woods, Principal, and Chief Operations Officer of DRIVEN.  “More people need to know the impressive SuperStroke story.”
