WILSONVILLE, OR – Ernest Hemingway. Zane Gray. Jim Harrison. These three men could tell a fishing story like nobody else, exciting the imagination of all, even non-anglers. But there are far more fish tales than those canonized in modern literature. Consider the big fish stories buddies recall around campfires, funny happenings shared through social media, and technical lessons weaved through anecdotal examples, the latter consumed like potato chips. Ultimately, it’s how we learn about our sport, our passion, ourselves, and the products we use.
There is no better way to share the heart of brand than through storytelling. Good stories compel people to change the way they feel, think, act, and behave. And smart, progressive companies get that, like marine electronics leader, Raymarine, whose problem-solving products serve diverse customers around the world.
Enter Traditions Media, a Minnesota-based outdoor sports-focused public relations group. Laser focused on power-branding and influencer-marketing strategies, the company embraces proven, legacy companies and helps perpetuate their hard-earned status in crowded markets.
With leading-edge technologies and advanced manufacturing capabilities, Raymarine has teamed with Traditions Media to maximize its voice and footprint in the consumer-driven marine electronics markets. It’s Traditions’ home court - a space they operate in every day while delivering focused messaging and creative, editor/publisher-friendly content to outdoor communicators and, ultimately, customers.
“Fishing is ground zero,” said Noel Vick, President of Traditions Media, in reference to his team’s sole commitment to fishing, hunting and the shooting sports. “No PR company in the business has a more knowledgeable team when it comes to the brass tacks of fishing and fishing-related technologies. Our track record in the marine electronics and boating spaces speaks for itself, with over a half-dozen ‘Best of’ ICAST wins. With that, we are incredibly honored to be working with Raymarine, an industry leader and technology juggernaut. We are excited to help Raymarine increase reach in the freshwater markets, while continuing their dominance in the saltwater and maritime segments.”
“We’re extremely proud of our products, technologies, and of the proven marketing abilities we’ve used to consistently reach our customers,” said Josh Distelzweig, Vice President and General Manager of FLIR Security. “But 2017 represents a big year for us, with many upcoming announcements, and we want to ensure maximized messaging bandwidth. Traditions Media’s team of talented writers and technical experts will help expand and leverage the positive communication we’ve worked hard to establish with the media and our customers.”
Traditions Media will start assisting Raymarine with their special brand of media communications support on January 1, but have already begun rendering assistance with media outreach relative to key, upcoming trade shows, including the Miami Boat Show in Miami, Florida, February 16-20, where Raymarine (Booth #C362 - C Tent; and booths 875 and 877, In Water) will unveil a game-changing family of exciting new marine electronics products. Traditions Media is also assisting FLIR OTS at the Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show in Las Vegas, January 17-20, where FLIR OTS (Booth #248) will unveil a leading-edge suite of exciting new thermal-imaging products for hunters, shooters and tactical professionals.
