GREENSBORO, NC--(Marketwire - October 22, 2009) - Greensboro-based managed security services
provider Secure Designs, Inc. (http://www.securedesigns.com - SDI) today
announced that it has appointed Sowinski Creative as its advertising agency
of record. Sowinski will work with SDI on end user and
business-to-business campaigns designed to accelerate SDI's growth as a
leading provider of managed security services for small to mid-sized
organizations.
Sowinski will provide full service integrated marketing support to SDI,
including online marketing, graphic design and advertising campaigns. Their
initial campaigns will focus on building awareness in vertical markets to
extend the reach of SDI's outsourced IT security services business to areas
including retail, financial and professional services.
Based principally on security appliances from SonicWALL, Secure Designs
provides highly affordable, customized managed security solutions for
hundreds of small and mid-sized business customers across the U.S. and
internationally.
"Security remains one of the most pressing IT concerns of all businesses,"
said John Sowinski, principal consultant at Sowinski Creative. "Secure
Designs is putting a great deal of firepower into helping smaller companies
enjoy the same level of protection as larger organizations. They are very
well positioned to lead the market in terms of price and offerings and I
see no end in sight to their progress. It is tremendously exciting to be
part of their team as they move forward."
Larry Cecchini, COO and vice president of marketing at SDI, said, "John's
background incorporates both traditional and non-traditional areas from
packaging design to consumer and retail advertising. His approach is an
ideal combination of pragmatic and creative. We have already worked with
him on a number of projects and look forward to making a splash with our
2010 campaigns."
Sowinski has more than 20 years experience in consumer and
business-to-business advertising in major agencies in New York, Texas, St
Louis and North Carolina. A graduate of Syracuse University, he started
his career at Saatchi and Saatchi in New York and was Creative Director of
Coyne Beahm Shouse in Greensboro, NC before starting Sowinski Creative in
partnership with his father, Walt Sowinski.
"The business environment today is highly conducive to the sole proprietor
or small consulting business and is a better fit with many organizations'
goals," Sowinski observed. "There is a very robust marketing and creative
community in the Triad area, matched with a broad base of high-performance
companies such as SDI, who prefer to work with individuals rather than
traditional agencies as they forge new business paths."
