PROFESSIONALLY WRITTEN BUSINESS NEWS ABOUT
THE 2010 WINTER OLYMPICS and PARALYMPICS
| ||||
When you subscribe to the Gold or Silver
service, the stories are sent directly to your own personal
e-mail box in plain text—no fancy graphics to tangle up
your e-mail program. So we’re fully independent, we carry
no ads; we’re 100% supported by subscriptions.
We’ve been working for our subscribers, who are
executives just like you, since 2003.
Knowledge is power: Executives subscribe, month after month, year after
year, because they make money or gain influence from knowing
what’s going on before anybody else. They know that what
we report gives them an advantage of days, weeks, sometimes
months before it becomes industry knowledge or hits the
mainstream news media. They also know the information we
provide gives them far more opportunities than they would
discover on their own.
Far more than a simple listing of RFPs,
we provide full context of what’s happening day in and
day out, inside and around the 2010 Winter Olympics, in a way
that caters to what an executive needs to turn that information
into business or influence. That includes interviews with
executives as well as expert analysis, all reported in a
professional, clean, easy-to-read style.
Our unique business and marketing
insight, based on more than 30 years of experience as business
journalists in Western Canada, is applied to VANOC’s
operations, and those that influence it (and there are a lot of
people and organizations who do). You not only get the business
news, you’ll understand what’s going on, what the
relationships are, and the contacts to make it happen for you!
Why you need to know NOW: The Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010
Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games start February 12, 2010,
but that’s less than 1,000 days from now. These Games
take lots of planning, purchasing and construction, so there is
already lots going on. VANOC’s capital construction
budget is C$580 million; while it’s more than half spent,
there are still lots of contracts to be let. The cities where
the venues reside are spending millions more. VANOC expects to
spend C$1.7 billion on its own operations. That’s right
1.7 billion.
An estimated C$10 billion worth of
economic activity is expected to occur in Canada as a result of
these Games. That means a lot of companies spending—and
the only way you’re going to know who they are, so you
can sell to them before anybody else finds out, is to
subscribe. Our coverage is far more extensive, and far more
advanced than what you’ll find in the
newspapers—which is why even news media reporters
subscribe. Now is the time to find out what you need to know
about what’s going on with the Games of 2010, not later,
when it will be too late for you.
As VANOC’s executive vice-president
of Services, Terry Wright, says, “During the first four
years [2003-2006] we’ve spent 5% of our budget. In the
last three years, we’ll be spending the other 95%.”
Since we began in the fall of 2003, just after the 2010 Games
were confirmed, we’ve
provided subscribers more than 2,500
business stories. We do our best to look at what’s going
to happen—so you can move your company into place before
an event occurs. So your sales staff can get there first.
