NAWF Press, Advertisement and Promotion
The North Alabama
Whitewater Festival (NAWF) is a great event and since its conception
in 2005, with 200 attendees and competitors, to more than 1,300 in 2007,
this once small festival has sky-rocketed to become one of the best in the
Southeast. NAWF attracts many whitewater enthusiasts and some of the
best whitewater athletes to experience a
more challenging competition.
To help the event
grow and get the exposure that it deserves, we utilize several different
mediums, including most local radio stations, news channels, newspapers,
magazines, canoe club newsletters, professional photographers, video editing
companies and television programs have been contacted and will be attending
this year. (A list is available upon request.) Websites such as
Nawfest.net and
Myspace.com/Nawfest will be posting up-to-the-minute information, while
numerous sponsors post blogs on their websites regarding the festival’s
activities. Each sponsor will have a booth to promote their products and
sales representatives from each company will be there to pass out
information and answer any questions. Also, please be advised that we
will be receiving endless free press as well as 40+ volunteers in exchange
for NAWF’s donation to American Whitewater, North America’s largest
not-for-profit river conservation group.
Thanks to our
amazing PR team, last year’s festival gained enormous publicity exceeding
even our own expectations. In the months following NAWF 2007, coverage of
the festival was featured in such nationally accredited magazines as
Kayak Session,
Paddler Magazine and
Sidetracked Magazine. Added exposure was given by several different
kayaking videos across the country that included clips of NAWF in their
productions throughout the year. We, as a team, are proud to say that our
humble festival has now grown into one of the largest and most-attended
whitewater festivals in the world.
