CHICAGO, IL. (August 15, 2014) – Wilson Sporting Goods Co. today announced the addition of two seasoned professionals to the Racquet Sports division.  Nick Gonzales was named Global Marketing Director and Tim Buwick was chosen as U.S. Promotions Director for Racquet Sports. 

In his new role at Wilson Sporting Goods Co., Gonzales will be responsible for shaping the consumer communication and engagement strategy spanning all Racquet Sport product categories and key business drivers.  Gonzales brings a wealth of brand and shopper marketing experience, having spent the last eight years at Unilever, where he managed brands such as AXE and Degree/Rexona. 

As U.S. Promotions Director for Racquet Sports, Buwick will lead, develop, and execute grassroots strategies and promotional activities to drive Wilson brand awareness and consumer demand in the marketplace.  Buwick has spent the last 25 years as a territory manager for Wilson in Racquet Sports.
