Entrepreneur pushes breakthrough in coronavirus disinfectant

Few in the entertainment and event planning industry have been able to avoid the pandemic’s potent, and drastic, destruction.

Count Southwest Florida entrepreneur Vinny Antonio at the top of that list. His company, Fort Myers-based Victory Marketing, in handling event and experiential staffing for major companies like AT&T, LinkedIn and Xfinity, was a leader in its niche. In early 2020, it won a bid to do work for Cirque du Soleil, which Antonio says would have added $3 million in top-line revenue. “We were really dominating in January and February,” Antonio tells Coffee Talk.
