From SilverHook® Powerboats

SilverHook® Powerboats is the new frontier in ocean speed and safety. A radically unique boat, designed from experience and ingenuity to be the fastest, most efficient mono-hull (of all time). The team is on the fast track to breaking the Unlimited Speed Record for immersed propeller mono-hulls.

The SilverHook® factory team competes in the 2017 Super Boat International series. Six Grand Prixes each competing over a 3 day weekend culminating in the points for the national championship, topped with a season finale with three races in November held at the 37th Annual Key West World Championships – SilverHook®, carrying its Lucas Oil sponsorship, is gunning for that coveted title and fifth World Championship.

Lucas Oil has proved to be the fastest growing motor sports driven brand over the past 21 years. Team captain and throttleman, Nigel Hook, promises “We have promoted Lucas Oil across the world for the last 17 years... join us as an associate sponsor and hold on for the ride – nothing comes close to 140 mph in up to 6-foot seas! Supercharge your brand with us.”

NEWSPAPERS

One of the most important aspects of marketing and communication activation is properly taking advantage of media exposure. Creating and maintaining positive momentum in the media is paramount. Activation of a strong public relations campaign can expect solid local media coverage and with the right tactics, could expect a reasonable amount of national coverage.

Much of today’s newspaper coverage includes the media outlet’s online digital partner. The shelf life of the coverage is extended and broadened beyond the local market.
