Tony Marinozzi

While enduring the early years of fatherhood, (two kids within 13 months) Mr.

Marinozzi continued to develop his scripts and earned producing credits on

several productions including: the documentary “Story of Stone” (A&E) in 2000,

and the 2003 feature film “Miracle Dogs,” a “G” movie that was very successful in

video release. 

During this time, he joined Jonathan Bogner (award winning producer) on a

variety of film and television pitches and projects.          

In 2002-2007 he teamed with decorated author, Robin Moore (“The French

Connection” and “The Green Berets”) on a number of projects. This

included collaborating with Raymond Flynn (the former Ambassador to the

Vatican & former Mayor of Boston) in adapting their novel “The Accidental

Pope” into a screenplay. 

As a creative artist, Mr. Marinozzi’s first concern has always been originality. It

was this yearning along with his heartfelt passion for assisting those who

have overcome seemingly insurmountable odds that has guided his career

path over the last 20 years.  

Due to Kyle’s global popularity and success (ESPY 04’ and countless other awards), Mr. Marinozzi became a voice for physically challenged athletes, using this recognition to create a niche for these special people who may not otherwise be heard. 

One of those special people was Bobby Martin, a football player without legs. For the next 5 years, Mr. Marinozzi promoted Bobby into the national spotlight. This exposure has led to ESPY (06’) and Arete awards (only a handful of athletes have won both), numerous sponsorships, and a prestigious appointment as ambassador for the Pop Warner (football) Challenger program.     

Under Mr. Marinozzi’s tutelage, Bobby developed into a polished inspirational speaker and proved that you don’t need feet to leave a footprint in life. In addition to handling all forms of representation for Bobby, Mr. Marinozzi also served as ghostwriter for his book “Make it Count.” 

In an unprecedented achievement, Mr. Marinozzi was also responsible for gaining the nominations, and the successful PR and Marketing campaigns for both 08’ ESPY winners, Ryan Kocer (“Best Male Athlete with a Disability”) and Shay Oberg (“Best Female athlete with a Disability”). 

In 2010…Mr. Marinozzi secured the ESPY nomination for Linnea Dohring, a gymnast with one hand. Though she didn’t win the coveted award, Mr. Marinozzi put Linnea on the path of promising career as an inspirational speaker. Linnea was also the catalyst behind the petition to add gymnastics to the 2016 Paralympic games in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.    

In 2011-13…Mr. Marinozzi shot the documentary “Just kicking it!” which chronicles the inspirational journey of high school football player Anthony Bagliano.    

Despite being born without arms and enduring multiple heart operations (Holt- Oram syndrome), Anthony showed incredible determination, dedication and courage by becoming the starting kicker and emotional leader on the Eastlake North (OH) football team. Mr. Marinozzi also was the creator of “Kicking for a Cure” which Anthony used as a vehicle to raise money and awareness for those (including his father) fighting cancer.    

Mr. Marinozzi went on to develop a national marketing and PR campaign for Anthony that resulted in a “Rudy Award” nomination and ESPN selection as one of the top 16 high school athletes (contributions on and off the field) in the country.

In 2013 Mr. Marinozzi and his daughter, Giuliana created the “Make a Swish” Foundation to provide basketballs, uniforms, meals, and fees to those in need.    

In 2013 Mr. Marinozzi initiated a national PR campaign (Mentor, OH) for one-handed basketball sensation, Zach Hodskins which resulted in global exposure and a scholarship from Coach Billy Donovan at Florida University.

In 2014-15 Mr. Marinozzi created “Remedy Jane” (remedyjane.com) with Dr. Jane Li-Conrad (D.O. & Homeopathic physician) handling logo and website development…as well as all other areas of PR & Marketing.   

In 2015-16 Mr. Marinozzi was enlisted (manager) by 2x Olympian (12’ & 16’) and world champion wrestler, Elena Pirozhkova to represent her globally in all areas of business, PR, and marketing. Mr. Marinozzi also created “Wrestling for a Reason” as a vehicle for Elena to assist wrestling programs in need (shoes, headgear, singlet etc.).

With an aggressive PR campaign, Mr. Marinozzi successfully negotiated several sponsorship deals (including Nike) while securing numerous nominations/awards and public acknowledgments for Joey.  Mr. Marinozzi led the creative and collaborative effort in publishing Joey's book (future documentary) entitled “From Compton to Cleveland.”

Joey currently fights for Bellator (MMA Promotion) and owns a perfect 8-0 record.

This included creating the theme, PR, and marketing strategy for "The Road to Tokyo" campaign which detailed Zion’s historic mission to qualify both for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2021. This exposure led to Mr. Marinozzi securing and collaborating on Zion's lucrative three book publishing deal with Candlewick Press.

Utilizing Zion’s unique situation, athletic ability, and charismatic personality, Mr. Marinozzi was instrumental in securing worldwide multimedia exposure and interviews (all forms) that included Globo TV (Brazil), Pro7Television (Germany, Switzerland, Austria), and The Ellen Show.
