Brand will be front-of-jersey sponsor for new professional soccer team, construct Terminix Terrace at AutoZone Park
MEMPHIS, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Terminix, a leading provider of termite and pest control services and a
Memphis-based ServiceMaster (NYSE: SERV) company, today announced its
new partnership with hometown professional sports franchises the Memphis
Redbirds of Triple-A Baseball and Memphis 901 FC of the United Soccer
League. Among other elements, the partnership will include the
development of Terminix Terrace at AutoZone Park, as well as the
front-of-jersey sponsorship of Memphis 901 FC, which will be unveiled in
the coming weeks and debut during the team’s first-ever game on March 9
against the Tampa Bay Rowdies.
“We’re proud to call the vibrant community of Memphis home,” said
Matthew Stevenson, president of Terminix Residential. “Making a
difference for our neighbors is important to us and we want to extend
our presence from our recently opened downtown headquarters to support
other community organizations just down the street.”
“This combined sponsorship allows us to reach not only the 1.2 million
households in Memphis and the surrounding area, but also allows us to
expand into new market segments and demographics,” said Matthew Loos,
vice president of sales effectiveness and marketing for Terminix. “The
USL surpassed 2 million in attendance in 2018, and we are excited for
this opportunity to expand our diverse and growing customer base across
the United States and Canada.”
“We are thrilled to team up with a local company like Terminix for this
major partnership,” Redbirds and 901 FC President Craig Unger said.
“When ServiceMaster moved its 1,200 employees to Downtown Memphis and
set up its headquarters just two blocks from AutoZone Park, we
immediately sought ways we could synergize our Memphis institutions. We
think fans will very much enjoy having The Bluff City’s own Terminix
involved in multiple ways at AutoZone Park this year and beyond.”
Terminix employs more than 400 employees in the Memphis area. Terminix
is the Official Pest Control Partner of Minor League Baseball™ and a
proud supporter of the Memphis Grizzlies.
