OutdoorHub 07.30.12
Momentum Media PR, a Boulder, Colorado and Boston-based agency providing PR and media strategy to active lifestyle brands, today announces the hire of Brandon Ontiveros as Media and Partnership Strategist. Bringing a varied portfolio of new services – including media planning – for current and future clients, Ontiveros joins Momentum’s growing Boulder office.
With over a decade of experience in sports marketing and advertising within the outdoor, snowsports and bike markets, Brandon brings an expertise as diverse as the major international companies he’s worked alongside. Most recently Ontiveros managed advertising campaigns for global brands in the outdoor and snowsports markets as Equipment Sales Manager at Bonnier Corporations’ SKI and Skiing magazines. He also founded the Oregon Enduro Series, now one of the largest mountain bike events in North America, and serves on the board of directors of the North American Enduro Tour.
Brandon’s passion for mountain sports and the active markets, as well as his alignment with Momentum’s commitment to a high level of media and client service will help propel the agency as it enters its next stage of expansion.
“This opportunity arose right in line with my career track and goals – to be able to work with the industries’ best brands and on a team of senior level professionals who are well respected in the outdoor industry,” said Ontiveros. “This position will allow me to continually develop new concepts and ideas that will fuel significant brand awareness and business growth for Momentum’s premium brand partners. I couldn’t be more thrilled to be working with Momentum, and to bring a depth of experience and relationships to this new position.”
At Momentum, Brandon joins a seasoned team of industry PR professionals: principal Alycia Cavadi, PR Director Bethany Mousseau, and Senior Account Manager Timmy Dow. Thomas Seymour has recently stepped up as Assistant Account Executive, occupying and living large in the Boulder office, where he and Brandon will take turns defending the beer fridge.
“As our media landscape continues to evolve and change, we’re answering with an expansion to our agency’s offerings in order to continue meeting and exceeding our clients’ needs,” said Alycia Cavadi, founder and principal at Momentum. “Brandon’s experience in advertising, media planning, partnerships, and events fits perfectly with our team’s expertise and our agency direction. And for how closely we all work together, it was essential that Brandon is the kind of guy you want to go have a beer with after skiing, riding, or a long day at the office.”
Brandon lives in Boulder, CO, and can be reached at brandon@momentummediapr.com or by phone at 303.249.6848. When not working from Momentum’s office at 23rd and Pearl Streets, Brandon can be found chasing single track, powder and various adventures from Colorado to the Oregon coast.
