CGPR was named public relations agency of record for the Outdoor Retailer Winter and Summer Markets. Working closely with Nielsen Business Media, CGPR will provide media relations support for each show including pre-show and on-site support for exhibitors, pre-show and on-site registration for media, and overall media relations.

Outdoor Retailer Summer Market was recently honored as one of the 50 fastest growing trade shows in the United States at the Tradeshow Week Fastest 50 gala at the Omni Hotel at CNN Center in Atlanta for the second time since 2003.

“We chose CGPR because the agency has expertise both inside and outside the outdoor category,” said Kenji Haroutunian, show director, Outdoor Retailer. “The agency’s broad experience brings a fresh perspective that is consistent with our business strategy. In addition, CGPR has a long history of supporting key industry events and organizations over the years, including the Outdoor Industry Association’s Rendezvous and Capitol Summit and the Outdoor Industry Women’s Council. The agency has a proven track record and will be a strong partner.”

In addition to events in the outdoor community, CGPR recently sponsored two key events in the fashion industry including the Daily News Record (DNR) 2007 Menswear CEO Summit and the Women’s Wear Daily (WWD) Branding Leadership Forum. “Being front and center in industries that continue to intersect with the outdoor world enable CGPR to have a wider perspective on what is happening in our world,” said Chris Goddard, president, CGPR.
