We are thrilled to announce that the winner of Pitch It to the Pros at Response Expo 2009 will be revealed by none other than TV pitchman Billy Mays and Livemercial CEO Johnny Mathis Jr. This is going to be a moment these inventors will never forget — hearing your name called by two of the biggest figures in direct response marketing.

Pitch It to the Pros has become one of the most anticipated events at Response Expo, giving everyday inventors the chance to present their products to a panel of industry veterans. The winning inventor will receive a comprehensive online marketing package from Livemercial, designed to take their product from the pitch stage to real online sales.

Billy Mays has been an incredible friend to the direct response community, and having him on stage alongside Johnny to make the announcement speaks to the caliber of this competition. We’ve seen some truly innovative products come through Pitch It to the Pros over the years, and we can’t wait to see who takes the prize this time around. Stay tuned — San Diego is going to be exciting!
