Success Stories

I cannot recommend Sports Strategies enough for their outstanding work on the website transition and previous logistical planning for the Pikes Peak APEX. From start to finish, they were consummate professionals who took the time to truly understand our needs and goals.

Their team of experts was able to guide us through the entire process, from the initial planning stages to the final transition and were incredibly responsive to our questions to ensure a successful transition.

If you are looking for a top-notch web development and marketing consulting team that truly understands the sports industry, look no further than Sports Strategies. They are simply the best!

We asked the team at Sports Strategies to develop a brand new event from the ground up that would shine a spotlight on our Pikes Peak region's trail system. They handled the event from the larger branding and marketing overview, sponsorship sales and development, and outlining a financial plan. They even delivered details all the way down to the nuts and bolts of building a website and social media platforms. Now we have a world-class mountain bike event that truly reflects the quality of outdoor recreation in Colorado Springs.

We contracted with Randy DuTeau and Sports Strategies for a community assessment of our sports tourism market, which has yielded positive results.

Randy was always very accessible, responsive, and easy to work with in general. Once he surveyed CVB staff (the CVB handles the sports tourism market for Athens) and partners/stakeholders in our city, he provided a complete report that told of our capabilities or potential in this market and suggested groups that we could target. He came to Athens to help us with our presentation of the results to our local community. 

Even after the work was completed, he has continued to be involved with us and guide us. An example was when he came to Athens to help us form an advisory committee with people who had been targeted to serve on this committee, which was one of the recommendations of the report. Randy is a pleasure with whom to work, and we are glad to have contracted with him and his company, which has allowed us to make strides in this important market. 

In comparing sports bookings in our present fiscal year to last fiscal year, with only eight months in, we’re already seven percent ahead of last fiscal year’s bookings. There are a number of groups that we expect to covert to definite pieces of businesses by the end of this fiscal year, so this number should go up dramatically.  Better engagement / alignment with UGA Athletics has been one of the more positive action items to come out of his assessment, and an impressive number of groups that we expect to book are a result of this relationship with UGA.

I have had the pleasure of working with Randy while executing our national archery events in several different communities and on several occasions over the last few years. We have always had an excellent working relationship and Randy’s experience and background has always been a real plus. When you are planning to host upwards of 2,000 participants at your event his ability to balance the needs of his community and the needs of organizations such as ours is truly appreciated.  We value our relationship with Randy and look forward to working with him again.

Working with Randy has been a great advantage for us planning our events.  We stage multiple adventure races on the same weekend with racers at different locations throughout the event.  His attention to detail, promotions and logistics were a great benefit for us when we hosted the National United States Adventure Racing Championship at one of his venues.  With so many moving parts happening at the same time, it was great working with Randy to ensure the event went smoothly.

During nine years spent as mayor of Augusta, I had the pleasure of working directly with Randy DuTeau to help stage some of the city’s most successful sporting events. From the Ironman 70.3 Augusta to the International Mountain Biking Association's World Summit, we were successful in recruiting a wide variety of sporting events which contributed greatly to our local economy, and Randy played a key role in making this happen. I consider Randy both a friend and a subject matter expert in his field.

USA Cycling’s relationship with Randy goes back over 20 years. He will soon be overseeing the operations of his fourth cycling national championship for us. We really appreciate his ability to understand every facet of what goes into a major event and his ability to deliver it at the highest level.
