NC BBQ Company Partners with vitalink® for Marketing

Raleigh, NC – The North Carolina Barbecue Company (www.ncbbqcompany.com) has hired vitalink to handle its 2010 holiday marketing campaign. The company, based in Greensboro, sells traditional Eastern and Piedmont-style barbecue, along with a “Battle Box™” that offers both products.

“We applaud companies who work to find ways to fill a need, and there is a definite need to let others across the country know how great NC BBQ is,” says Jeanne Frazer, President of vitalink®. “We are excited to be working with North Carolina based NC BBQ to let other businesses across the state know about this unique Carolina-style corporate gift or employee recognition opportunity. North Carolina has a great business climate and sending a traditional NC gift is a unique way to promote your business and the great state of North Carolina.”

The North Carolina Barbecue Company was founded in 2010 by Rick Scott and Ryan Pitz after hearing from some former North Carolinians that they were unable to find good barbecue in their new locales. Three primary packages are offered: Eastern, Piedmont, and the company’s trademark Battle Box. The business delivers “the authentic barbecue experience anywhere in the United States.”

vitalink vision + values

We are a little different than most ad agencies. We aren’t going to be right for everyone. We want clients with whom we can build relationships. We are passionate about what we do and when we select a client to work with, we do it because they fit our vision and values and we put our all into it.

vitalink® is small, by design, to keep accountability, responsiveness, and the team approach intact and thriving. When people love what they do, they work harder (for them, it's not work), and perform better. At vitalink we love what we do. We eat, sleep, live, and breathe this stuff because we want to, not because we have to.

We thrive on referrals due to our relationships. Advertising, marketing, creative, branding, website design, SEO, SMM, PR, and media buying based on solid research—all from a team that loves working with their clients.

Sound like fun? It is. Give us a try.
