Trévo Corporate Office Finds New Home
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
As Trévo’s product sales and network marketing figures continue to trend upward, the company itself is also moving up – literally.
Trévo has officially outgrown the south Oklahoma City office it has occupied since 2010, and is heading east down Interstate 44 to Valliance Bank Tower, where it will call the entire 18th floor home.
“Obviously this building holds a special place in the hearts of the people who started with Trévo here, but we are thrilled about the move,” Trévo CEO Mark Stevens said. “As our operations have expanded, so has our corporate staff, and we simply outgrew the walls at our current location.”
Located at 1601 Northwest Expressway, Valliance Bank tower is the tallest building in Oklahoma City’s Northwest Business District. With 22 floors offering a 360-degree view of the city, the tower is the most prominent landmark in the area.
Stevens prides himself on being a high-energy CEO with a team that has taken that same approach to business, so a move to one of the busiest and most fast-paced business districts in Oklahoma City makes perfect sense for Trévo. The tower is located off the interstate just walking distance from 50 Penn Place, an upscale galleria-style development, Penn Square Mall,

ForeverGreen Launches New Proprietory Product
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
ForeverGreen Worldwide Corporation, a leading direct marketing company and provider of health-centered products, announced its new dietary supplement, Retrome.
The development of Retrome is based in genetic science, which has found aging correlates with the shortening of telomeres or the end portions of DNA which allow for cell division. With the depletion of telomeres as the body ages, cell populations are exhausted and serious illness and disease become a greater risk.
Through 41 peer review studies, cycloastrogenol, the all-natural, plant-based ingredient in Retrome, has been discovered to support telomere health and help prevent their shortening.
Retrome (patent pending) delivers 98 percent pure cycloastrogenol, which helps improve cellular function and overall health needs. Each Retrome bottle comes with 28 capsules and is available through ForeverGreen’s catalog, the Farmer’s Market. The product will be 33-50 percent less expensive than other similar products currently available in the marketplace.
“If you are looking to slow the aging process and improve overall health, you will not want to be without Retrome,” said Michelle LeSueur, BeP, CNC, CSN, CPT, and Director of Product Education and Development.

This is a day that the company’s distributors, brand promoters, employees, friends and supporters in Utah and around the world can unite and give what they can on behalf of the children and families in need who benefit from MORE Project funds.
The MORE Project, founded by MonaVie and funded by MonaVie and distributor donations, operates in five of the favelas (slums) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where chaos and indecent surroundings reign. To give you a visual, growing up in the favelas entails…
Open sewers in your backyard and no running water
Little opportunity to properly wash daily
Chronic hunger
Violence stemming from police actions or gang wars
Abuse in the home
Having to choose between the offer of sex for money or not eating
The MORE Project’s goal is to transform the next generation by eradicating poverty and conflict present in these undeserved communities, such as violence, drugs, early pregnancy, child prostitution, abandonment and school delay. The MORE Project instills in each child the assurance that their life is valuable and that they can rise above their surroundings. We provide this optimistic feeling in

Stevens’ journey toward the creation of Trévo began years ago when he was a young man of just 16.

While still in high school, Mark discovered his entrepreneurial spirit and passion for excellence as he became
