Buff, Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of BUFF® and creators of versatile performance headwear for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts, today announced an official sponsorship with BibRave.com, the leading race review site and hub for races, runners, and endurance brands. Beginning in 2016, BUFF will serve as the official headwear sponsor of the BibRave Pros, BibRave.com’s large and influential network of running bloggers and ambassadors.
The new partnership comes on the heels of an extremely successful 2015 campaign with BibRave focused on enhancing BUFF’s presence across the national running community. The performance headwear brand utilized BibRave Pros’ wide-reaching running network of brand-conscious online influencers, in addition to sponsoring #BibChat, BibRave’s popular running-themed Twitter chat to showcase the apparel brand’s product variety.
Originally launched in Chicago and currently based out of Portland, Oregon, BibRave.com is a running review site – similar to Yelp or TripAdvisor – where runners review races from around the world, offering feedback and insight on everything from aid stations, course elevation, race management and event expos. The BibRave site also serves as a community hub and partners with dozens of races and endurance brands looking to reach running influencers thorough its extensive network of ambassadors and social media campaigns.
“We’re extremely excited about the partnership and can’t wait to have the BibRave Pros rockin’ BUFFS at all of our partner races,” said Tim Murphy, Co-Founder of BibRave.com. “I personally use one on every single run, and I can’t wait for more runners to see BUFF for what it is – an essential piece of running gear.”
