Old Town’s Dedication – Evident in the Company They Keep
The German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe once said, "Tell me with whom you associate, and I will tell you who you are."
Or, as our moms used to say: "you are who you surround yourself with."
At Old Town, this age-old adage rings true. Old Town surrounds itself with passionate people, both internally and externally, to deliver the best watercraft for adventurers, paddlers, and anglers. The secret sauce is in the company they keep.
Not only does Old Town employ many passionate enthusiasts, but they invest in the greater community. For example, they've built an impressive roster of brand ambassadors, pro team anglers, and pro staff members representing on-water recreation of all types from all walks of life.
The Old Town Pro Staff team comprises 71 dedicated anglers, guides, and paddlers intimately involved in their local communities, covering 30+ U.S. states and Canadian provinces. The team competes in fishing tournaments, guides paddle or fishing excursions, helps local retailers with events and demos, and more. In addition, these knowledgeable individuals are the conduit for the Old Town brand, offering valuable product and community feedback.
The 15-person Old Town Fishing Team represents Old Town at the highest level at national fishing tournaments, like the Hobie Bass Open Series, Bassmaster Kayak Series, and KBF Trail events all over the country. In addition, Old Town continues to invest in the success and growth of tournament kayak fishing. In 2021, the Old Town fishing team secured several podiums, such as 1 st place victories at the Bassmaster Classic Championship, Bassmaster LaCrosse, KBF Trail Lake St Claire, KBF Trail Kentucky Lake 1, and many other top twenties!
Lastly, for 2022, Old Town partnered with top anglers from across North America to deliver entertaining and educational kayak fishing and adventure content. In addition, the new Old Town Ambassador Team will represent Old Town through their social media and YouTube channels, inspiring anglers from all over to get out on the water to experience the awe of the great outdoors.
As the popularity of kayak fishing grows, Old Town continues to invest in a meaningful community of pro staff, competitive anglers, and ambassadors. Because, it's as they say - you are the company you keep.
