Victory Briefs

Victory Briefs LLC provides comprehensive educational resources to the high school speech and debate community, which, according to the National Forensic League, includes a membership of over 6500 coaches and upwards of 93,000 students nationwide. Victory Briefs offers four distinct lines of products, focusing mainly on the Lincoln-Douglas debate event: textbooks and topic briefs; a summer debate camp; a national debate tournament; and a website/online community. Victory Briefs publishing distributes both a perpetual library of instruction books as well as periodical briefs that prepare students for each of the five Lincoln-Douglas topics that come out every two months throughout the school year. These briefs attract loyal customers who typically purchase an entire set of briefs each year and then. The Victory Briefs Institute (VBI) has established itself as the leading summer institute for Lincoln-Douglas debate. Each summer VBI welcomes roughly 350 campers, grades 8-12, over the course of three sessions, which take place at major universities (UCLA and LMU in Los Angeles). The Victory Briefs Tournament is one of the premier Lincoln-Douglas tournaments in the country, attracting roughly 150 students from over 40 schools. Finally, the Victory Briefs website serves as the online focal point of the Lincoln Douglas Community. Victory Briefs Daily includes coverage of tournaments, feature stories on debate culture, in-depth discussions of debate strategies and issues, as well as more lighthearted entries. The site is updated daily and is considered required reading by many debaters. Monthly traffic includes 15,000 unique visitors and over 4 million hits. The website attracts a specific audience that appeals to many advertisers, including test prep, college counseling, and other businesses that market products and services to the nation's elite high school students.
