AASI/PSIA/NSP – 1997 – current
Peak Exposure’s longest-term client consists of three national non-profit
associations in the snowsports industry with multiple stakeholders including
individual members, industry sponsors, resort management and consumers. Peak
Exposure provides PR and marketing counsel from board level strategic issues
to consumer outreach programs. “Since hiring Peak Exposure in 1997, they
have provided a wealth of PR counsel, media training, web content development,
research and market opportunity analyses. The quality of our media efforts
has improved dramatically. One example being the award winning public service
announcement campaign to support industry growth and safety that garnered over
285,000,000 national television impressions in one season.” – Mark Dorsey, Assistant Executive Director AASI/PSIA/NSP
Outlast Technologies – 2002-2005
Outlast Technologies owned valuable marketing capital in its historical connection
with NASA but was not using it to its full potential. Peak Exposure established
a relationship and agreement with the Space Foundation, a marketing division
of NASA, to jointly promote the technology to various trade groups and consumers
through point of purchase materials, web links, trade show events and editorial
coverage. In its first year this program was widely adopted by Outlast Europe
and Outlast Asia to support the global brands using phase-change technology
in apparel, footwear, protective gear and bedding. The program has received
increased acceptance in the USA with recent renewed interest in the space program
and
with the company’s induction into the Space Technology Hall of Fame in
March 2005.
Icelandic Design – 2001-2003
Icelandic Design had enjoyed steady double-digit growth each year, but after
9/11 occurred was concerned that consumer demand would drop and wanted to know
from retailers what would keep them buying. Peak Exposure conducted a Brand
Snapshot study. The positive response from 25 key retailers, to a one-on-one
phone survey, lead to a mail-in survey of the entire retail customer base which
received
an overwhelming response. This effort provided retailers a voice, strengthening
their relationship with Icelandic ultimately influencing seasonal product designs,
increasing sales and creating expansion into warmer climates.
Lowe Alpine - 1995-2000
Peak Exposure helped Lowe Alpine successfully position waterproof breathable
coatings against laminate fabric technology for technical apparel in the outdoor
industry, specifically launching Lowe Alpine’s proprietary Triple Point
Ceramic products. One of the more memorable tools in the campaign was the sticker “Laminates
are for Countertops,” now a collectors item. Consistent consumer press
coverage of this breakthrough technology in media such as the Wall Street Journal,
USA Today, The Today Show and AnyPlace Wild TV, strengthened Lowe Alpine’s
position as an innovative leader in the outdoor industry, increased retail
sell-through and directly contributed to the company’s overall growth
during that time.
