Pyxl Partners with Alister & Paine to Name Young Entrepreneur of the Year


Knoxville, Tenn. - January 5, 2010 - Are you a young entrepreneur looking to further the success of your business? Digital magazine publisher, Alister & Paine, INC. announced today it has partnered with marketing services firm, Pyxl, and social media release service, PitchEngine, to host its first annual Young Entrepreneur of the Year competition.


The winner of the contest will receive an Alister & Paine micro-marketing campaign, which includes a one-on-one interview and editorial on his/her business concept, along with two complimentary press releases from Pyxl's MyPRGuide service and a one-year subscription to PitchEngine.


"At Alister & Paine, we recognize that entrepreneurs are the key to pulling the economy out of the recession," said Brian Aitken, CEO of Alister & Paine. "For that reason, we've teamed up with Pyxl and PitchEngine to provide one young entrepreneur with a hand-tailored marketing and public relations campaign to help them continue to grow their business."


"A well-executed marketing campaign will have a strong positive effect on any startup, however it's often hard for young entrepreneurs to budget for marketing, given limited funds," said Brian Winter, founder of Pyxl. "This competition gives entrepreneurs a unique opportunity to gain recognition for their emerging business through an integrated marketing and PR campaign."


Applicants must be between the ages of 18-25 years old at the time of incorporation to be considered for the award. The decision will be based on a number of variables, including how unique, innovative, profitable, sustainable and revolutionary each entrepreneur's business concept is.
