The kitchen is where
the game is won.

In pickleball, the kitchen is where the game is decided — not through power, but through precision, patience, and perfect positioning. That's the RPM philosophy. Brent Weigelt manages The Pickleball House in White Marsh, Maryland, coaches as a PPR-certified instructor, and has 25+ years of award-winning advertising behind him. We don't need a briefing on your business. We already know it.

Brent Weigelt.
Founder. Creative Director.
Insider.

RPM is built on a simple belief: that the best marketing comes from someone who is genuinely inside the sport, not just adjacent to it. Brent Weigelt founded RPM as a boutique agency — founder-led, personally accountable, and backed by a senior network built over 25+ years at agencies including EURO RSCG, Cline Davis and Mann, and Cyphers Agency.

Every client works directly with Brent. When a project requires specialized depth — paid media, video production, web development, or PR — he activates a vetted network of senior professionals from top agencies. You get boutique attention and agency-grade talent without the overhead or the account manager runaround.

Brent is an active board member of the American Advertising Federation, a Gold and Silver ADDY Award winner, a PPR-certified pickleball instructor, and the General Manager of The Pickleball House in White Marsh, Maryland. There is no one else in this industry with that combination of advertising firepower and inside-the-sport credibility.
