Presenting Sponsor Academy Sports + Outdoors Signs on for Second Consecutive Year
DENVER – Outdoor Sportsman Group’s #DeerWeek, slated to air September 16-22 on Outdoor Channel, Sportsman Channel and across all Outdoor Sportsman Group content platforms, welcomes back its slate of sponsors from one year ago including presenting sponsor Academy Sports + Outdoors, as well as participating sponsors Can-Am, Kimber and Old Trapper. Outdoor Sportsman Group also welcomes new associate sponsor Moultrie for the 2019 #DeerWeek. The announcement was made today by Outdoor Sportsman Group Executive Vice President of Advertising Sales, Jason Brist.
#DeerWeek, which launched in 2017, is a unique, week-long, cross-platform event featuring primetime programming showcasing deer-specific content on Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel. This year marks the third consecutive year of this specialized, week-long, “cervid-themed” programming block.
“#DeerWeek has evolved into an annual programming event that viewers look forward to watching,” Brist said. “It has been three years since we first conceptualized #DeerWeek as a programming initiative and we are proud and happy to maintain our loyal advertising partners: Academy Sports + Outdoors, Can-Am, Kimber, Old Trapper and we welcome Moultrie.”
“Kimber is proud to continue our partnership with #DeerWeek in 2019, we feel it is important to continue to support hunting and outdoor sport,” Kimber Senior Marketing Director, Tom Scott said. “Encouraging people to be outside in an age where technology is all consuming is important to Kimber and we feel #DeerWeek plays a vital part in that.”
“Hunters are one of our favorite groups of customers and we are excited to partner with the Outdoor Sportsman Group this year for #DeerWeek 2019,” Director of Marketing for Old Trapper, Robert Leary said. “This annual event is a time of camaraderie amongst outdoor adventure enthusiasts and is a natural fit for the Old Trapper brand and product line as we strive to provide hunters with the highest quality, best tasting smoked jerky available.”
#DeerWeek content also will be front and center in relevant print, digital and social media platforms owned, operated and distributed by Outdoor Sportsman Group Networks and Outdoor Sportsman Group Publishing arms. More than 35 hours of Outdoor Channel and Sportsman Channel primetime programming will be dedicated to the week-long celebration of deer hunting. Content also will be made available to Outdoor Sportsman Group Publishing’s 16 magazines and 19 online websites and digital outlets including streaming video-on-demand service MyOutdoorTV (MOTV), as well as Outdoor Sportsman Group’s vast array of social media pipelines.
