From Complimentary Assessment to Hands-On Training, Campisi / Manzella Offers First-of-its-Kind Approach


Two well respected outdoor industry veterans will share their years of service, trade secrets and business acumen with active lifestyle companies interested in a better bottom line. Joe Campisi, a 30-year expert in brand management, merchandising and product development in the ski equipment, footwear, apparel and outdoor industries and Tony Manzella, founder and former owner and CEO of Manzella Productions Inc. and a 30-year veteran in the glove and accessory business for ski, hunting, sports, military and apparel, are joining forces to shatter the current consulting firm model.
“Until now, the only option for comprehensive business consultation and services was contracting with a big company — something that may not be a good fit for an outdoor firm,” explained Joe Campisi, managing partner, Campisi / Manzella. “We offer a better option, with business expertise, a suite of services, and 60 combined years of active lifestyle focus, at an unparalleled value. “
From Fee-Free Discovery to World Class Hands-On Training: A Unique Approach
“As a rule, consulting firms ‘start the clock’ the minute you walk in the door,” explained Tony Manzella, managing partner, Campisi / Manzella. “Alternatively, we provide a comprehensive assessment and analysis, free of charge, asking only for expenses.”
And, with decades of training worldwide in all aspects of business, Joe Campisi offers an unmatched expertise and personal approach to instruction. “The key to success for a business turnaround is employee education and buy-in,” explains Campisi.
Campisi / Manzella can address a wide spectrum of issues that challenge businesses today — from preparing a company for sale, to accelerating sales and profitability. They draw on the most suitable business resources from a world class group of service providers for all aspects of marketing and sales, sourcing, operations and retail training. With the top experts in line, they then follow a critical, chronological path, providing advice, collaborating with executives and employees, and mentoring and training.
“In a nutshell, we are experienced business experts, able to help companies make money and sustain profitability,” explained Manzella.
