Seattle-based Pinnacle Sales agency has joined Mountainsmith as the new sales and marketing team for the Northwest, including Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington. The announcement was made by Gareth Richards, vice president of sales for Mountainsmith, the Colorado-based innovator of cutting-edge packs, bags, and luggage. Pinnacle Sales is headed up by principal, Blaine Miller, and associate, Michael Newby.
Blaine founded his own agency in April 2004 after many years sales experience in the Northwest, Southeast, and Rocky Mountain territories. Michael joined the company shortly thereafter and together their goal has been to build, develop, and maintain strong relationships with their retailers. Along with Mountainsmith, they also represent Darn Tough, Genuine Guide Gear, Katadyn, La Sportiva, Nikwax, and Omega Pacific.
“We are extremely pleased to have been invited to join the Mountainsmith team,” commented Miller. “The brand has tremendous recognition and is experiencing an incredibly successful new product launch for 2006. Were very excited to bring Mountainsmith to our customers and continue to grow it in the Pacific Northwest.”
