MasonryStrong Branding Opportunities

Words: Bronzella Cleveland

We are proud to announce the introduction and implementation of MasonryStrong.org, a new promotional and marketing website focused on one of the primary MCAA goals of targeting a younger audience to support the industry's workforce needs.

One of the tactics we’ve identified to achieve the above goal is to partner with Dreyer & Reinbold Racing, a championship-winning Nitro Rallycross (NRX Series) team, and use their full-time 2021 NRX NEXT Series entry as a branding, marketing, and promotional tool to advance the business goals and objectives of the MCAA and its Members. Please find attached a preliminary artist’s rendering that illustrates the unique branding opportunity this could provide to all Industry Partners, Suppliers & Members in 2021.

Specific to each of your businesses and brands, the following 2021 partnership options are available to our Partners, Suppliers and/or Members (please note the Partnership decision deadlines for each 2021 race weekend below):

    • Includes private VIP garage and pit credentials, VIP parking, Driver Meet-and-Greet(s), VIP Gift Bags and Behind-the-Scenes tours of pit area w/ team, VIPs and Drivers for a pool of eight (8) VIP guests throughout the weekend
