Icebreaker, the New Zealand company that pioneered the outdoor merino wool apparel category, has launched a new blog entitled “Holy Sheep!” on http://blog.icebreaker.com. The “Holy Sheep!” weblog is being updated 2-3 times weekly with the latest news, product releases, and events related to Icebreaker employees, friends and customers.
“Icebreaker is about experiencing nature and connecting to each another,” said Founder and CEO Jeremy Moon. “We want our blog to be a place where people can come together, get to know our brand, experience some Kiwi humor and have a little fun.”
