BRP Adds To Its Can-Am ATV Marketing Group
Chaz Rice Joins the Team
Valcourt, Canada (2/27/2007)
- As BRP continues to develop new, exhilarating
product for ATV enthusiasts, it continues to develop
its Can-AmTM ATV marketing department as well. Former
ATV media member Chaz Rice was recently hired to
assist our ATV media relations department to coordinate
and work closely with all ATV media outlets.
He will be based out of his home office near Minneapolis,
MN and report to Del Bohlman, ATV Product Manager.
Jeff Gruhlke will now focus full time on Can-Am
ATV racing, which has been expanding significantly
and will continue to grow as we prepare to enter
another segment of ATV racing. Rice will be the
main contact on day-to-day media requests.
"Chaz is not a newcomer to the ATV world as
he brings five years of experience on the editorial
staff of two ATV magazines," said, Del Bohlman.
"As we expand the Can-Am ATV product line and
build upon the brand, Chaz will work closely with
members of the ATV media to ensure they have the
information to complete stories."
Rice worked at Ehlert Publishing Group, Inc. in
the editorial department of its ATV group and finished
his tenure at Ehlert as editor of ATV Sport magazine.
He then was hired as the senior member of the public
relations effort for Russell Herder, an advertising
firm in Minneapolis MN. There he gained valuable
experience in the field of public relations, but,
in the end, missed the industry for which he had
great passion.
"It is exciting to get back into the ATV industry,"
said Rice. "I missed the riding and I missed
the people; I cannot get wait to get started working
with those who I got to know in my years as a magazine
editor. Can-Am is an exciting brand and has a terrific
line of product that keeps expanding with each model
year."
In the next weeks he will be contacting you to
introduce himself, and for many of you, reintroduce
himself. And we look forward to seeing you soon
at our exciting 2008 product launch.
