Rise Above Consulting has officially parted ways with Sucker Punch Sally’s after a very successful six year run.
The relationship started with a chance introduction that Mike Lichter made between the founders of SPS, Jeff Cochran and Donny Loos, and owner of Rise Above Consulting, Ken Conte while they were having their bikes shot at Lichter’s studio is Boulder, Colorado. They had talked of coming out with a production line of bikes and Rise Above Consulting helped them create and execute that launch as well as successfully get the brand out to the public. When the company was bought and relocated to Arizona, things shifted gears to bikes being only a fraction of the overall operation. As a result, there was an array of new tasks to be completed including media events, promotions, bike giveaways, new product launches and the successful launch of the Sucker Punch Energy Drink. SPS currently doesn’t have the necessary marketing budget to take their brand to the next level with Rise Above Consulting.
"It was a difficult decision as I have been so involved with the brand from day one, but it was time to move on. We had a great run and it seemed like there were better opportunities out there for Rise Above. We took the brand from where it was just Donny and Jeff working out of their garage in Ohio, to an internationally recognized brand and we are proud of that," said Ken Conte, owner of Rise Above.
Currently Rise Above Consulting services several other clients including Hot Leathers, The Legendary Buffalo Chip, K&G Cycles, LA County Choprods, Custom Design Studios, The Seminole Hard Rock Roadhouse, Gravesend Cycles, Stevensons Cycles, and Stripper Juice as well as being the official publicist for Sara Ray, Susan Amador and Ami James.
