Begunje, Slovenia- Elan Skis, dedicated to handcrafting skis in the Alps for over 70 years, announced today its partnership with White Cloud Communication, a boutique communication firm specializing in active lifestyle, outdoors, adventure and winter sports, to manage its public relations and communication strategy.
The partnership with White Cloud kicks off a benchmark year for Elan set forth by a fresh new approach to branding and marketing initiated by the recently appointed director of brand development and managing director of North America, Jeff Mechura. Effectively immediately, White Cloud will be working closely with Elan to amplify the DNA of the brand and the momentum of the product bringing untraditional design concepts to the All-Mountain Amphibio and Big Mountain Ripstick collections.
“It is an extremely exciting time for Elan; the rich heritage, compelling new product and spirit for the skiing lifestyle provide the brand a strong platform for White Cloud to help position and tell the Elan story to a broader audience,” says Mechura. “The industry experience and relationships cultivated by White Cloud are genuine, driven by a clear passion for skiing.”
White Cloud Communication shares Elan’s excitement for this brand new partnership.
“As we head into the ski season and the winter sports trade show cycle, we couldn’t be more fired up to hit the ground running with Elan,” says White Cloud Founder, Cassie Abel. “ The opportunity to roll out an innovative new product line in addition to supporting a reinvigorating marketing program, presents us with so much potential to express Elan’s authenticity.”
