Austin, TX, July 10, 2000 – VisionEdge Marketing, Inc., a metrics-based strategic marketing services firm, today announced their first two strategic alliances: one with MagRabbit.com, a leading provider of e-business fulfillment and customer care services and one with Valeo Consulting Group, and organizational development firm that helps transform business performance. The formation of these alliances coincides with the culmination of VisionEdge Marketing’s first year in business.

“The phenomenon of forming strategic alliances is not new; what’s new is that it has now become a core component of the business model, “Companies and organizations form alliances to pursue a result that is mutually beneficial. By combining resources, products, or services the whole is greater than what individual entities can bring on their own; they create new opportunities they would otherwise have not recognized or been able to pursue.”

We are delighted to be working with both of these companies. It is very synergistic opportunity for all of us to add more value. In today’s business climate, bringing comprehensive solutions to the table is essential. These alliances go in both directions, making each company able to offer a broader skill set than as single entities,” said Barry Rumac, managing partner, VisionEdge Marketing, Inc.

“As we work with companies to address the obstacles in transforming their businesses, it may become apparent that certain key business functions need bolstering, ” said David Winkler, principal at Valeo Consulting Group. “In the past, when we identified this scenario we made informal recommendations. Now that our own company has experienced results because of our work with these firms, we have formalized these relationships so that we can add more value to our own customers. This is exactly the path we went down with VisionEdge Marketing. Their business practices match ours making it a good fit.”

:”As a company that helps other businesses manage their e-fulfillment needs, we’ve been exploring ways to expand our solution set to include additional marketing expertise,” said Keith Sharman, Director of Sales for MagRabbit.com. “It makes sense to have an alliance with VisionEdge Marketing with their breadth and depth in branding and positioning which enables us to bring a stronger strategic foundation our customer.”
