Tri-State Petroleum Developing Marketing, Brand Identity, PR Strategy

PITTSBURGH -- Tri-State Petroleum Corp. is partnering with Elias/Savion Advertising to develop an integrated marketing, brand identity and public relations campaign for the c-store operator and wholesale distributor of motor fuels.

The agency will provide Tri-State Petroleum creative design, media strategy and Web design services.

"Convenience stores have evolved dramatically during the past 10 years, as have customer expectations," said Ronnie Savion, co-founder, executive vice president and creative director for Elias/Savion Advertising. "As it enters a period of growth and evolution of its own, Tri-State Petroleum remains uniquely positioned to provide a dynamic product and service profile that will go beyond expectations to redefine the market space."

Tri-State Petroleum is a family-owned c-store operator and wholesale distributor of motor fuels responsible for the sale of retail and petroleum products in communities throughout Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The company is working on a strategy to align its retail locations to more closely identify with the wants and needs of the customers and communities they serve.

"Tri-State Petroleum is focused on providing friendly service and the convenience of on-the-go shopping to our loyal customers in the close-knit communities where we operate," said Colleen C. McGlinn, CEO of Tri-State Petroleum. "We recognize the need to discover more about our customers and communities in order to serve them even better. That's where the expertise of our partners at Elias/Savion will come into play."
