[February 11, 2011] : Nashville PR firm expands athlete representation; Morgan Creative Services retained to represent Olympic judo hopefuls Nick Delpopolo and Travis Stevens Tweet (M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) RDATE:10022011 Morgan Creative Services announced that they will be expanding their roster of Olympic athletes to include Travis Stevens and Nick Delpopolo. Both athletes compete in the sport of judo and are expected to participate in the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Both athletes are ranked number one in the United States in their respective weight divisions. Both Stevens and Delpopolo are ranked in the top 16 in the world in the Olympic sport. "We are delighted to be working with these two athletes," Clay Morgan, founder of Morgan Creative Services, said. "Judo is an amateur sport, so these are amateur athletes. They participate for the love of the sport rather than for money. It's very pure." Morgan Creative Services will be providing traditional public and media relations services related to the athletes' international- level achievements. Also, the firm will engage social media to allow the athletes to interact directly with fans and those interested in the sport of judo. Stevens and Delpopolo train with TEAM FORCE, based out of Wakefield, Mass., near Boston. Their coach is former world champion and two-time Olympic medalist Jimmy Pedro. "We're delighted Morgan Creative is representing these two athletes," Pedro said. Morgan Creative Services also represents another athlete trained by Pedro, World Judo Champion Kayla Harrison. For Harrison, who is currently considered the lead contender for an Olympic gold medal in 2012, the firm has increased her media presence through traditional and social networks. "I'm amazed by the quality and thoroughness that Morgan Creative Services provides its customers," Pedro said of the firm's representation of Harrison. "They have gone above and beyond our PR expectations to elevate the status of my athlete." The agreement went into effect February 1.
