Awareness through relationships

Influencer and ambassador marketing

 
A Long Day - Crete, Greece - Where to Willie

We get it - influencer and ambassador marketing can feel like the wild west. The outdoor industry in particular has seen an explosion of new partnerships between brands and content creators. Today, elite athletes are just one of many influencer groups commanding the attention of outdoor recreationists. Anyone with a passion for the outdoors and a story worth sharing can help generate awareness and enthusiasm for your brand. With so many options, how do brands and creators find the right fit? And how do you measure the impact of the content they create?

Let Verde help. We have a pre-vetted network of influencers, big and small, with a wide range of talents and audiences. Our connections range from professional athletes to everyday enthusiasts, from those who use outdoor gear to those who review it. We partner with everyone from backcountry skiers and environmental advocates to the quiet camper sipping whiskey next to the fire.

For brands

We believe that influencer and ambassador content should deliver results for the brands that invest in creating it. We do not believe in throwing money and free gear at someone just because they have a certain amount of followers. 

Our digital marketing and PR teams promote and share content and measure its visibility, engagement, and conversion rates. Verde helps brands navigate sponsorships, ambassadorships and creator partnerships with confidence.
