RAM Trucks Drive to the Outdoors Campaign Honored at 3rd Annual Event
Officials from Orion Entertainment have announced that the RAM Trucks Drive to the Outdoors campaign has been named a finalist for the 2014 Cynopsis Sports Media Awards in the ‘Marketing Campaign for Brands’ category. The Cynopsis Sports Media Awards honors the top shows, campaigns, and people in the highly competitive sports media industry.
“It is an honor to be nominated as a finalist for such a prestigious accolade with so many powerhouse names in sports,” says Orion President Chris Dorsey. “The RAM Trucks Drive to the Outdoors campaign brings together best-in-class content to speak to and with consumers in a key truck sales pillar: the outdoors. It also harnesses television video assets to live on multiple platforms creating channels of communication with consumers without having to share the real estate with competitors. Brands are becoming defacto media marketing companies and controlling their messaging and reach through their own proprietary channels is the next generation of brand empowerment.”
By integrating the best in video, writing, and photography, the RAM Trucks Drive to the Outdoors campaign reaches over 50 million consumers in the $76 billion outdoor entertainment industry. The campaign includes 6 television series – RAM Outdoorsman, ATK’s Grateful Nation, Winchester Legends, Winchester World of Whitetail, Winchester Rack Masters, and Swarovski Optik Quests – the digital RAM Outdoorsman eZine, print advertising, blogs and social media presence from the RAM Outdoorsman pro staff, and promotional videos.
