Craghoppers Partners with RootsRated For Washington DC Sponsorship
Portsmouth, NH (June 5, 2015) – Craghoppers is happy to announce their partnership with RootsRated, a new media platform that connects users with the best outdoor experiences, which are reviewed by published local writers and curated and vetted by staff at local key retail partner Hudson Trail Outfitters.
In 2015, Craghoppers is sponsoring all of Hudson Trail Outfitters’ activities in the Washington DC area, starting with content focusing on hiking, trail running, and running in and around the area, with other categories and activities to follow.
Craghoppers and RootsRated have similar goals – connecting people with adventures, whether they’re around the world, or around the corner. RootsRated was started in an effort to solve the problem of finding the best local spots for outdoor activities, regardless of your local/visitor status. The site connects users and activities with local knowledge and qualified outfitters to offer the best experiences. Content sponsorship also offers marketing opportunities for Craghoppers, including building site traffic, long-term search, social and email opportunities.
“RootsRated is a unique tool that activates several channels for us, including the outdoor consumer, the retailer and the sponsoring brand,” said Lindsey Hayes, President at Craghoppers North America. “It’s the perfect combination, manifesting our support for key retailers, while also promoting the brand in a positive, useful way.”
“We’re really excited to be working with Craghoppers,” said Fynn Glover, Founder at RootsRated. “They’re a perfect brand partner, offering high quality product with features that our end consumers need and use.”
