KING EIDER COMMUNICATIONS AND POPSKULL FORGE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP

Heralded digital marketing and design agency joins forces with leading outdoor communications and public relations firm to deliver full-service, ROI-driven offerings.

Outdoor communications, marketing and public relations firm, King Eider Communications, and digital marketing and design agency, Popskull, have formed a strategic partnership to bring scalable growth to outdoor brands. 

Brands face an uphill battle in today’s rapidly evolving marketing landscape. From social media to SEO, packaging to press mentions, trade shows to experiential events, knowing what to do, where to do it, and how much to do is more difficult than ever. Worse yet, if not done right, marketing dollars get spent without driving growth.  

What’s needed is a marketing and advertising agency that has the specific industry experience and capabilities to develop unique, relevant, and emotionally driven content across marketing touchpoints. A one-stop-shop that continually tests and optimizes the work to ensure marketing dollars are driving revenue. A single place to call that can scale the work as the business grows. 

“I’ve known Dena Vick for years and am amazed by her extensive expertise in the outdoor space. Dena and her team are simply unparalleled in how hard they work and the experiences they create for their clients,” said PJ Rashid, founder and managing partner of Popskull. “We’re very excited to add our design and digital marketing chops to their incredible work to help outdoor brands grow.” 

King Eider and Popskull bring decades of proven experience in growing brands to the outdoor space. Founded by leading outdoor public relations executive, Dena Vick, King Eider has delivered public relations, media communications, content creation, field photography and videography, and trade show work to brands across the outdoor space. Recognized work has included many top brands in the outdoors space, including KastKing, Shimano North America, Mustad, LIVETARGET, and Smith’s Sporting Group, among others.

“Dena and the team at King Eider have been an incredible asset to KastKing as we’ve focused our efforts on positioning ourselves as a premium brand in the world of fishing. Their incredible relationships and experience in the industry make them a tremendous strategic partner and fantastic extension of our marketing team,” says Joe Woodward, marketing director of KastKing.

Since 2009, Popskull has helped dozens of consumer brands grow through defining brand strategies and branding, best-in-class social media and search engine marketing, packaging, e-commerce, websites, and more. Their work doesn’t rely on creativity, channel experience, or performance marketing but a combination of all three. They are best known for taking SkinnyPop Popcorn from a start-up to their $680 million IPO and Lyft’s disruptive beer campaign design. They’ve also worked with Mossy Oak, Jacuzzi, and Blue Sky Family Farms. 

“Popskull was able to translate (and help clarify) our vision to transform our customers into better cooks. What I most appreciated is their ability to unite our company goals with our customers’ aspirations in a way that feels authentic and relevant,” states John Steen, strategy manager for Tramontina USA.
