Denver Colo, July 31, 2014 What’s UP PR, an outdoor and snow sport industry public relations and consulting firm announces the hire of Alise Bailey in a social media expansion in conjunction with the introduction of a revamped and redesigned site, created by John Spellman.

Serving international and national clients since 1997, her firm has been one of the first satellite companies in the business of communications and brand marketing for the outdoor industry. Prior to today’s trends in outsourced experts, she founded What’s UP on the principals that provide immediate, public relations, brand positioning and marketing expertise to both new and established high-end specialty manufacturers in the outdoor, ski, and sport industries. The firm is solution-based to expanding and contracting specialty manufacturers.
In addition to public relations, Cochran’s firm also offers event planning, promotions, and athlete programs. Honored with top rankings in the industry, Cochran has been a guest writer for the Outdoor Retailer Journal, a Rotarian business exchange delegate, Founding Member of the Children’s Museum of Bozeman, and served five years as a board member of the Outdoor Industry Women’s Coalition (OIWC).

In Whats UP’s efforts to constantly evolve and create a strong strategic environment, the firm has added new hire Alise Bailey to join Sydney Halle to support the social media team.
