Balanced Body Selects LANE as Agency of Record

PORTLAND, OR and NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Sep 9, 2014) - LANE, a national, independent agency specializing in public relations, digital marketing and investor relations, has been named public relations agency of record for Balanced Body, the leading resource for Pilates and mindful movement equipment, information and education for fitness centers, studios, rehabilitation facilities and home enthusiasts.

In addition to traditional Pilates equipment, the company also offers new, more consumer-focused products designed to make mindful movement accessible to everyone. These offerings include newly launching MOTR (More Than a Roller), a versatile, easy-to-use lower-cost exercise tool for fitness studios or home use.

LANE's work for Balanced Body will include national and regional media, blogger and influencer outreach with a consumer/lifestyle, fitness and wellness focus, as well as thought leadership, digital marketing and social media programs.

"At Balanced Body, we believe in the ability for mindful movement to change lives, and have partnered with LANE to educate consumers on how our products help achieve a mindful lifestyle," said Ken Endelman, Balanced Body founder and CEO. "LANE's deep expertise and integrated approach will help us more effectively connect with our target audiences across a variety of communications channels."

"With a presence on both coasts, LANE has built one of the strongest consumer- and lifestyle-focused PR teams in the country," said Wendy Lane Stevens, president of LANE.
