WSOP Final Table Player uses Ebay to find sponsors for ESPN broadcast

PokerStars Professional Poker Player and one of the WSOP November Nine final table finalists, Ylon Schwartz, has selected Recordweb Communications marketing agency to promote his advertising efforts via Ebay for the Final Table ESPN Broadcast. Much like a professional soccer or Nascar team that has main and secondary sponsors, the Brooklyn native player has contacted Recordweb Communications to find possible sponsors interested in promoting their brands on Ylons sleeves, chest, and hat during the WSOP final table.

The 2008 World Series of Poker Final Table will start and finish on November 9^th, at the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, ESPN, the largest sports network in the world will then record and broadcast the event to more than 90 million viewers all over the world. Ylon Schwartz and the rest of the final nine will be watched on the screen on every round, making all players extremely attractive for companies looking to exhibit their brands on patches and markers on the players’ clothing.

"We are pleased that Ylon Schwartz’s management team has seen our past work and has commissioned us to present Ylon Schwartz to the world via Ebay. Ebay has many features that can be used to target specific audiences and Recordweb Communications has over 10 years of experience and expertise in sales and marketing to the Ebay customer base. Ebay is now used by many large publicly traded companies to sell materials and merchandise to the general public". Continues Mr. Neuman, "We were the first to promote and have success at marketing and finding sponsors for sports figures via Ebay. By simply typing in Ylons name in the search fields on Ebay, Ylons promotion shows up in the first page of results. We look forward to working with Ylon Schwartz and his championship run to the World Series of Poker for 2008" says President of Recordweb Communications Scott Neuman.
