Jones Soda Co., New Jersey Nets End Sponsorship Agreement
(firmenpresse) - SEATTLE, WA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/08/11 -- Jones Soda Co. (NASDAQ: JSDA) and the New Jersey Nets today announced the two parties have agreed not to continue their sponsorship relationship, effective immediately. The former sponsorship had enabled Jones Soda to be the exclusive provider of carbonated beverages to the new Barclays Center in Brooklyn, per the sponsorship agreement signed in 2007.
"The Nets sponsorship was designed as an effort to raise the awareness level of the brand in the New York Metro and New Jersey markets in a way that was meaningful to fans and aligned with the active Jones Soda audience," said Bill Meissner, Chief Executive Officer of Jones Soda Co. "Our primary goal right now is to allocate resources on growing Jones Soda distribution and awareness from coast-to-coast, and we have made great strides against this. We will miss the opportunity to align with the Nets and wish them well in the seasons ahead."
The original contract was signed in 2007, making Jones Soda a Nets sponsor for the past four seasons. The two companies mutually released one another from the contract early.
"We enjoyed working with Jones Soda during the past few seasons in New Jersey," said Nets Chief Executive Officer, Brett Yormark. "We wish Jones Soda great success in the future."
