Strategic partnership includes
integration into the professional sports sector and enables business
development, marketing, sales and endorsement of GTX Corp’s innovative product
line
Minneapolis and Los
Angeles, August 20, 2013 – GTX
Corp (OTCBB:
GTXO), a leader in customizable, patented 2-way GPS solutions, and Brewer Sports International (BSI), a multi-faceted global
sports management firm, have joined together to further expand the reach
of the #NextBigStep in wearable
technology: GPS embedded insoles -
SmartSoles™ (#SmartSoles, #GPSInsole).
As one of the world’s fastest
growing multi-faceted global sports advisory firms with a focus on the business
of sports and wellness, BSI will utilize its extensive network to facilitate
outreach efforts with synergetic companies and partnering organizations as well
as secure product endorsements and enhance awareness and global exposure for
GTX Corp’s innovative product line of wearable GPS technology.
In particular, BSI will help
secure partnerships and establish relationships with alumni athletes and
affiliates, targeting those suffering from Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and/or
Alzheimer’s disease, professional sports leagues, associations, agencies and
unions as well as with various public and private corporations and
international organizations focusing on health and wellness.
“There are so many people, not
just athletes that can benefit from this groundbreaking technology,” said Jack
Brewer, Founder and CEO of Brewer Sports International and NFL Alumnus. “As a parent, I want the comfort of being able to track my
young child's location at all times. I believe families all around the world
will benefit from the security and peace of mind that comes from being able to
locate your loved ones."
With over a year in development, GTX Corp had been researching ways to
further miniaturize its GPS module in order to penetrate new markets and expand
current ones. “Compared to our existing module, this next gen is approximately
30% smaller, thinner and lighter, 20% less expensive and has 200% more battery
life. It is equipped with a motion sensor and advanced A-GPS technology for pin
point accuracy,” states GTX Corp CEO Patrick Bertagna. “We are very excited to
have Brewer Sports partner with us along with being an integral part of our go
to market campaign to promote the SmartSoles™ in the sports market and to the
general public.”
BSI has proven experience with athlete endorsements and promotion in the
sports industry and is actively working to increase awareness and gather a
handful of interested athlete spokespeople to support the launch of the SmartSoles™ campaign. GTX Corp and BSI plan to
officially launch the Next Big Step marketing
campaign surrounding Super Bowl XLVIII this February in New York City.
