Morisset Named as No Limits VP Sales/Marketing

Mar 27, 2012

 

No Limits Distribution announced today the addition of Marc Morisset as its new VP of Sales and Marketing.

In what can only be described as a power move for the Vancouver based distribution company, Morisset brings nearly two decades of experience in the action sports industry to the table, from pro snowboarder at Special Blend, to most recently building the C1RCA footwear and Fourstar Distribution brands in Canada as General Manager at FSD.

 

 

Press Release:

NO LIMITS WELCOMES MARC MORISSET AS VP OF SALES AND MARKETING

Vancouver, BC – March 27, 2012:  No Limits, the most recommended brand equity builder for emerging apparel, footwear and accessories in Canada, has announced the addition of Marc Morisset as Vice-President of Sales and Marketing.  Morisset brings a wealth of experience in building the Canadian business for high profile brands based out of the U.S.   

"This is a key position for the future of No Limits and we are excited to have him on our team", said Kevin Kirsten, No Limits' Managing Partner.  "When Marc's resume landed on my desk, I immediately knew he was going to be the right fit.   Marc is well known and respected in the industry for having established many of the action sports and street wear brands in the Canadian market."

Marc's most recent industry position was VP of Global Marketing for Four Star Distribution (FSD) USA.  Marc began his career as a professional snowboarder for Special Blend in 1993 and then went on to become the Canadian distributor of FSD brands through the late 1990's.

Morisset's tenure with the Four Star brands was solidified in 1999 when he helped form a division of FSD in Canada to handle their brands and launch the C1RCA Footwear brand.  As GM of FSD Canada, Marc led all aspects of the brands' distribution; implementing Canadian warehousing, managing sales teams and proprietary showrooms, and leading the brands to the head of the Canadian industry where they stayed until FSD's winter brands were sold to Burton Snowboards.

"My goal at No Limits will be to bring a focus on long term growth, excellent retail relationships and strong, relevant marketing initiatives tailored to fit each brand's unique needs. Internally the company has made significant inroads with their business model and has implemented progressive measures that really appealed to me.  I want our brands and retailers to look back on 2012 as the year No Limits started a new chapter, becoming an even more prominent partner in their overall success," Marc Morisset.

No Limits is the exclusive Canadian brand equity builder for many of the top lifestyle, action sports, outdoor and street wear brands, partnering with over 2,000 retailers from coast to coast.
