Beltsville, Md. (January 2015) – Maryland Firearms Training Academy, LLC (MDFTA) has signed Laura Burgess Marketing as their agency of record to provide public relations, social media, advertising strategy and general marketing services for their up and coming high-end, indoor firearms training facility.
MDFTA will be one of the largest of a growing number of state-of-the-art indoor ranges being built across the country. The crowning jewel of the new facility will be an indoor 100-yard range, the only one of its kind in the tri-state area. MDFTA will also feature a full tactical range with live fire scenario simulators and a live-fire shoot house. MD FTA will serve law enforcement, military and security professionals, as well as private citizens with all training courses taught by certified professionals.

The build-out is expected to commence in early 2015, with an anticipated opening in early 2016. A limited number of early memberships will be made available later this year.
“With the lease signed and construction underway, we wanted to start reaching out to potential investors and customers. For marketing, we needed a firm with the relationships and firearms industry experience to build marketing platforms and connections for us. Laura Burgess Marketing came to us highly recommended,” David Ridgway, Co-owner of MDFTA explained.
“The Beltsville, Maryland area is the prime location to fulfill our vision of a five-star, world-class facility,” Michael DeMos, Co-owner of MDFTA added. “This market area, with a high number of law enforcement, military and security professionals, and consumers including first time gun owners and shooting sportsmen and women is greatly underserved.
