Not front page worthy, but thought I'd pass it along. From a press release in my inbox:

UWC - TAPS BILL GANZ AS NEW SHOW PRODUCER
 
Award-Winning Production Guru Joins UWC; Looks to Enhance Audience Engagement Starting at UWC - Capital Punishment
 
FAIRFAX, VA- Ultimate Warrior Challenge (UWC), the top Mixed Martial Arts organization on the East Coast, announced this week that it will bring Bill Ganz on as the new show Producer.  Ganz, founder of the MORE Media Group, has handled marketing and live event production efforts for Fortune 500 companies and is considered one of the top live event producers in the world.  His first show with UWC will be the April 25th UWC - Capital Punishment at the Patriot Center.
 
"The state of the audience is what gets passed around virally both on and offline," said Ganz.  "And since UWC's relationship with the audience thus far has been based on a high-quality show, we would like to create more pre-event and post-event points of engagement for the audience."
 
Ganz supports UWC CEO S. Marcello Foran's vision for the direction of the organization and is eager to apply his knowledge to all aspects of the UWC Company.
 
"To bring in a mastermind like Bill Ganz is a true step in the right direction for UWC," said Foran.  "With nine engineering degrees in lighting, sound, and many other aspects of live event production he will, without a doubt, take our production to the next level.  Our entire organization is excited to see him in action on April 25th at UWC - Capital Punishment."
 
Ganz will employ his 25-year knowledge of live event, multi-media, broadcast and narrowcast design, off and online marketing skills, and lethal imagination with new media and Web 2.0 social media conversational marketing skills to revolutionize UWC's marketing efforts.
 
"In my opinion MMA is in its infancy and yet is the fastest growing sport in the world," said Ganz.  "We have a new and very holistic messaging package that we will be developing in the months to come to elevate the sport."
