Brooks-Range Mountaineering Equipment, a manufacturer of backcountry and mountaineering equipment, launched the Brooks-Range Ambassador Program. The Ambassador Program includes a select group of the top U.S. mountaineering, avalanche and backcountry professionals that use Brooks-Range products regularly for their mountain adventures. The fifteen ambassadors will assist the company in product development, field-testing and special events. Additionally, ambassadors will spread the word about the brand through personal experiences, blogging, how-to videos and social media interactions.
According to Matt Brooks, founder of Brooks-Range, “We’ve always had fans in the mountaineering and climbing community. Our new ambassador program now allows us to draw on the expertise and real life experiences of those users. Our ambassadors will be highly involved with the company’s research and development department and provide us with valuable insight and feedback on products. With the help of our ambassadors, we will be creating the most innovative, utilitarian, comfortable and safe products for mountain use.”
