National Shooting Sports Foundation Signs 3-Year Commitment as Title Sponsor of SHOT Show Media Day at the Range
NEWTOWN, CONN. --(Ammoland.com)- CMG Marketing & Events and Triple Curl Public Relations & Advertising are pleased to announce that the National Shooting Sports Foundation has made a three-year commitment to become the title sponsor of SHOT Show Media Day at the Range.
The annual SHOT Show Media Day at the Range, held the day before SHOT Show, has become one of the largest gatherings of media in the industry with more than 600 in attendance this past January. This event gives industry media the opportunity to handle, shoot and review new products and services from over 75 leading manufacturers, non-profit and conservation groups.
“We are extremely pleased to be the title sponsor of SHOT Show Media Day at the Range. This event has a long history of value to those who participate and is a natural fit for NSSF as owner of the SHOT Show,” said Chris Dolnack, senior vice president and chief marketing officer of NSSF.
“The working media has become a major part of the SHOT Show. The SHOT Show Media Day at the Range is a great opportunity for our members and exhibitors since the media actually has an opportunity to go out and test new products. Last year a record number of media attended, and I think the cooperative alliance with CMG Marketing & Events and Triple Curl Public Relations & Advertising will make this an even larger and more meaningful event.”
“We could not be more pleased with the commitment that the NSSF is making to this event,” said Cathy Williams and Cory Cannon, co-producers of Media Day. “This long-term agreement shows the continued commitment of Media Day to the industry and nearly 2,000 members of the media community that every manufacturer counts on to broaden the reach of their products to the end consumer,” stated Ms. Williams.
Manufacturer registration is now taking place for SHOT Show Media Day 2012, which will be held on January 16 at the Boulder City Pistol and Rifle Range. It is anticipated that the 2012 event will be full to capacity. Additional sponsorship opportunities are available. Visit www.media-day.com for registration and sponsorship details.
Media registration will begin taking place in the coming months. This partnership between the NSSF and Media Day will allow for the media to register for the event when registering to attend SHOT Show.
