Rebranding to better reflect growth and partnerships
As you relax with your mug of coffee to read Boating Industry Canada News Week Digest on Tuesday morning, October 24th, I’m standing in the lineup at Pearson to board a flight to the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show. I envy you!
My job, and that of our Publisher Jill Snider will be to get to Fort Lauderdale and then to move as quickly as possible to meet with as many of the boat and equipment brands as we can in a few short days, and with the displays spread across seven different locations. In addition to our usual agenda of meetings, we will be discussing and explaining more about our rebranding. When I started attending FLIBS we were totally focused on Canadian Yachting magazine and the “big boat” market but that has changed dramatically and I believe, very much to the benefit of the boat business.
