Wunderman Motorsports Opens Charlotte Division
Hires Nascar Veteran Andrew Campagnone To Run
Chicago, July 1, 2008—In a move to extend Wunderman Motorsports’ presence in NASCAR, Wunderman, the largest global marketing services network in the world, opened a corporate consultancy division at the headquarters of Lowes Motor Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina. Currently, Wunderman Motorsports, a unit of the agency’s Chicago office, works with Office Depot, Goodyear, and Sears Craftsman among others, on Motorsports sponsorship and activation.
NASCAR expert Andrew Campagnone has been brought on as VP, Motorsports, to manage operations and will report directly to Wunderman Chicago president, Rick Schreuder. Campagnone will drive Wunderman’s sponsorship sales, seeking opportunities for new and existing clients in NASCAR.
In making the announcement, Schreuder said “Opening an office in Lowes Motor Speedway puts Wunderman Motorsports at the center of the NASCAR world. Andrew brings us leadership and a unique perspective as a collaborator between corporate advertising, media and sports marketing.”
Previously, Campagnone served as SR, Director of Business Development for Career Sports and Entertainment in Atlanta. Campagnone joins Wunderman’s Motorsports team with a long history in top-tier professional sports marketing and media sales. His diverse portfolio includes affiliation with teams from Major League Baseball, the National Hockey League, and NASCAR’s top teams.
