Whether the event is stateside or anywhere around the world, no detail is too small; no obstacle too large.

Pro-Staff Management
Pro staff/paid endorsees are expected to carry the banner for brands and uphold a brand’s values and reinforce its identity even when cameras and fans aren’t around. Careful vetting of potential pro staffers and paid endorsees is a must to avoid a potential virally driven, fall-from-grace story. With significant contacts within the outdoor industry, BHC can drive the selection of pro staff members and other paid endorsees, aligning those best suited for specific brands and areas of marketing emphases. Contract negotiations, on-site handling, leveraging of media coverage and the oversight of deliverables fulfillment are some of the many ways BHC provides a turnkey solution to brands seeking to connect with customers through pro staffers and paid endorsees.

Measurement and Analytics
Measurement and the analysis of data generated should be the cornerstones of any effective public relations campaign. Far from just buzzwords, measuring the successfulness of individual tactics and entire campaigns empowers brands with an understanding of its business and its customers to see where the greatest returns on investments can be had. Just knowing what happened isn’t enough. BHC’s powerful results come from a blend of traditional measurement tools and the agency’s proprietary analysis formulas that tell brands why things happened and what will happen.

Social Media
No longer can social media be overlooked as just a passing trend. In today’s crowded landscape of new media, new brands and ever-evolving products, companies who ignore social media do so at their own risk. BHC helps its partners intuitively incorporate social media into their marketing goals. It’s more than just how many fans and followers a brand can get and BHC works to ensure that its partners build and maintain relationships within the large, influential social media community.
