    Clique Studios, a Chicago Digital Marketing Agency, Awards a $100,000 Promotion Services Contract

    Chicago, IL (PRWEB) December 20, 2011

    The voting is over and the results are in. One deserving Chicago business is the winner of a $100,000 promotion services contract from Clique Studios.

    The winner is Swingbyte, a homegrown Chicago start-up that has developed a mobile golf swing analysis platform for golfers of all skill levels, from beginners to elite touring and teaching professionals.

    Alex Pedenko, Founder & CEO of Swingbyte, along with Brian Payne (VP, Business Development) and Nathan Wojtkiewicz (VP, Global Supply Chain) cultivated Swingbyte from the hallowed grounds of the University of Chicago Booth School of Business where they were recognized as a Top 3 Winner of the Chicago Booth 2011 New Venture Challenge - one of the nation's premier business plan competitions. The Swingbyte team is made up of avid golfers and entrepreneurs inspired to create a new way to analyze your swing with a smartphone.

    “As we prepare to launch our initial consumer product in early 2012, winning this promotion from Clique Studios will help us tremendously towards generating the consumer awareness and buzz that will help make Swingbyte a smashing success,” says Mr. Pedenko. “We're confident that as consumers hear about Swingbyte they will have a strong interest in purchasing. The key will be getting the word out in fun and interesting ways. Creative and effective promotions should play a huge part in that process and we are thrilled that Clique will be deploying our consumer engagement campaign.”

    The Swingbyte entry specifically identified a promotion idea to partner with a carmaker that aligns with the Swingbyte brand to execute consumer test-drives in top markets throughout the US.
