In 2016 Garmin announced the addition of 21 professional fishermen to its marine pro team. The team of more than 60 anglers includes professional bass, walleye, and crappie fishermen who will be representing Garmin in tournament trails across North America, including the B.A.S.S. Elite Series and FLW Tour. In conjunction with this announcement, they also began a national campaign called “Sons of Fishes,” which includes television, print, digital and social media executions that show why so many professional anglers are making the switch to Garmin.
The primary reason members of this “fishing club” are switching to Garmin is because of its new revolutionary PanoptixTM all-seeing sonar technology that provides a real-time video-like image of the bottom, structure and fish swimming around or in front of the boat.
Major kudos to the creative and dedicated user base of Tesla. The automaker also deserves credit for recognizing the power of user generated content. After all, 54% of millennials, who will soon have the greatest combined purchasing power in history, were found to rely on UGC when making an informed car purchase.

Set against the backdrop of the Fisher Towers in Moab, Utah, the team uses pain-staking coordination to showcase their aerial talents all at once.

A personal dive into the lives of ultra-running athletes and husband and wife team Rob Krar and Christina Bauer. They share their deep connection to each other and the area of the proposed Greater Grand Canyon Heritage National Monument in Arizona. Though intimately connected with the well-being of Grand Canyon National Park and the health of local communities and economies, this area remains at risk from threats such as toxic uranium mining. A national monument designation would permanently protect the region.
Ok, so space travel is just cool and the SpaceX recap video of the 2015 launch and return landing of the Falcon 9 that delivered 11 satellites to low-Earth orbit on Dec. 21 backed by the aggressive rock stylings of Incubus ("Absolution Calling") is just awesome. This video is essentially a marketing video for commercial space missions but it also serves to remind us of just how special these accomplishments really are. It is simply incredible to see the Falcon 9 return from a mission and touch down on Earth like something out of a sci-fi movie.
