Our friends at Going to the Sun Marketing have graciously donated $2500 dollars in marketing/public relations services to the 1st place team! Their contributions will be key in supporting the winning team’s growth after the weekend is over.
$2500 equates to about 30 hours of time from the GTTS team (outside of the event itself) to assist with branding, market research, focus groups, public relation, strategy, etc.
We are also excited to announce that David Moffitt, Cassandra Rife, and Adam Lindsay of the GTTS team will be actively participating this weekend!
