MOTOR MEDIA INC. revs up in California
20-year aftermarket veteran, Joe Sebergandio steps out on his own

Glendale, CA - O.K., here's the situation. You have been in the Automotive Aftermarket business for well over twenty years. Your past exploits included stints as the Publisher of Petersen's 4-Wheel & Off Road Magazine, FOUR WHEELER and SPORT TRUCK Magazine. You've presided as Primedia's V.P. / Automotive Performance Events, producing such incendiary monster shows as the HOT ROD Magazine POWER TOUR, The NIRA Sport Compact Drag Racing Series, CAR CRAFT STREET MACHINE NATIONALS and a swarm of others. Everybody knows you; everybody loves you.

So what do you do now?

You hang up your own shingle, that's what! In 2003, Joe Sebergandio took the plunge and incorporated in California . Our firm, MOTOR MEDIA INC. scored an immediate coup by reaching an agreement to represent SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) in a variety of key roles, specifically as the exclusive sales agency for all of SEMA's event sponsorship sales as well as all of SEMA'S printed publications and SEMA NEWS (eastern territories.)

Additionally, MOTOR MEDIA INC. offers a variety of media related services which include developing media schedules, event production, and advertising consultation to many companies within the automotive aftermarket.

"This has been my life's work," said a modest but clearly excited Sebergandio. "MOTOR MEDIA, INC. represents every available automotive medium for our clients!"
