OUR CLIENTS

Here are some of the great brands we’ve worked with...

KUDOS

Here are some of the nice things our clients have to say…

“Accelerate has been Canadian Tire Motorsport Park’s advertising agency on our major spectator motorsport events for the past 10 years. Jerry brings a unique combination of marketing communications smarts and industry experience to the table and has contributed to our success in that time. He performs well under pressure and goes above and beyond to get the job done right – important traits in our business. I trust him to run ad campaigns that are on target, on budget and deliver results.”
Myles Brandt
Canadian Tire Motorsport Park
“Jerry’s experience in the automotive and event industries proved to be a valuable resource to Michelin North America (Canada) on several programs that Accelerate successfully managed for us. Those included motorsport sponsorships, VIP Hospitality events and a major Ride & Drive new product launch. His knowledge, work ethic, attention to detail and management skills shone through in the high quality of work he delivered. Accelerate was a trusted agency partner and respected ambassador for our Michelin and BFGoodrich brands.”
Sabrina Garofalo
Michelin North America (Canada) Inc.
“Accelerate Marketing & Communications is a leader in public relations and has a strong reputation within the industry. That’s why we partnered with them for our Toronto Monster Energy AMA Supercross event. Jerry's experience and relationships within the motorsports, sports and news media sectors amplified our campaign by successfully expanding media interest while delivering strong media coverage. Accelerate brings experience, determination and a get-it-done attitude. It was a pleasure to work with Jerry both personally and professionally.”
Dale Shaughnessy
Feld Entertainmen
“Jerry and Accelerate have led the Toronto Motorcycle Show’s PR efforts for close to a decade, generating excellent results each and every year.  They have also played an important role in our show’s social media activities and community management, particularly in the busy period leading up to the show and during the three-day event. They produce engaging content and respond quickly to followers’ queries and comments, all in a manner that reflects the character and voice of the show. Whether it’s through PR or social, we rely on Jerry’s expertise, experience and creativity to help keep our audiences informed and excited about attending the Toronto Motorcycle Show.  As important, Jerry is a pleasure to work with and a consummate professional.”
Ray Sriubiskis
Power Sport Services
“We had the pleasure of working with Accelerate on several projects for our premium high octane performance fuel, Ultra 94. Accelerate’s fresh ideas and experience with media relations, community engagement, events and targeted marketing programs all contributed to Ultra 94’s success. Jerry’s enthusiasm for the brand and understanding of our objectives were evident at our first meeting and continued throughout the time we worked together. With the quality and pride demonstrated in Jerry’s work, we knew the Petro-Canada and Ultra 94 brands were in trusting hands.”
