What’s UP Public Relations Agency Is Moving
Bozeman, MT – June 3, 2010 – In order to better serve the outdoor and snow sport industry, What’s UP Public Relations is excited to announce their move from Bozeman, Montana to Denver, Colorado, effective June 15th, 2010.
“Boulder and Denver are the epicenter for all things outdoor,” says What’s Up founder and director Beth Cochran. “There’s no better place for this industry than along the Front Range.”
Serving national and international clients since 1997, What’s Up is a pioneer in communications and brand marketing for the outdoor industry. With expertise in customer-focused, personalized public relations, the firm has built a loyal client base of both new and established high-end specialty manufacturers in the outdoor, ski, and sport industries. In addition to public relations, Cochran’s firm also offers below-the-line event planning, promotions, and athlete programs.
“What’s UP has taken our Chaos brand from virtually unknown to a high-profile, growing company,” says Gary Supple, US National Sales Director Chaos Headwear. “Beth is a consummate professional, and her magnetic personality and attitude keep everyone feeling good and excited about growing the brand. We look forward to many more profitable years together.”

Honored with top rankings in the industry, Cochran has been a guest author for the Outdoor Retailer Journal, a Rotarian business exchange delegate, a founding member of the Children’s Museum of Bozeman, and a board member of the Outdoor Industry Women’s Coalition (OIWC).
Coinciding with the move, What’s UP is also launched a new website. The site includes a blog and social networking features, press release listings, media center, video and references. Please visit the site at http://whatsuppr.com/
