Sports Camp Federation Launches New Website and Introduces Brand New Sports Marketing Services











Chicago, IL (PRWEB) January 25, 2012

Chicago-based marketing firm Sports Camp Federation has just launched its entirely new website and name change, now known as SCFederation. In addition, the company has expanded its service offerings to include various levels of social media marketing and consulting services to its clients.

Sports Camp Federation (now referred to as SCFederation) is a free resource available to youth camps, youth and adult sports leagues, organizations, educational programs, community centers, social groups and more. The company seeks to help programs become successful through use of its database to gain visibility and utilize resources. Its newly launched website is easy to navigate and has a completely new look and feel. “Aesthetically, the site matches our own brand so well. As we ramp up our services, this new site is just the first step in a really exciting overall process,” says Sarah Leonard, Director of Business Development.

SCF provides such services as sponsorship development and product sampling programs so that participants find more value in their experience with a given camp or organization. In addition, SCF has now included social media training to better gain visibility for its partners. The company strives to help create a dialogue amongst organizations and its participants through use of social media techniques. Its comprehensive training program and ongoing consulting services were not previously offered in the past, and while this portion of the company’s offerings does come at a cost, it can be affordably tailored to fit any organization’s or camp’s needs.

While SCF helps organizations and camps become successful, it is also a viable platform for brands to generate awareness amongst targeted demographics in the active lifestyle community – both youth and adult. The company can utilize its extensive database to place products in the hands of active youth and adults. In addition, SCF can integrate product placement campaigns with a social media response to generate buzz about a particular brand or product. This integration of social media is a new addition to the SCF portfolio of services for 2012.

Sports Camp Federation was founded in 1998 by Scott Bronstein. SCF has provided millions of free samples, product promotions, movie premieres, concert tours, drive to web campaigns for all youth and adult channels within a network of over 10 million consumers directly. Their unique ability to provide feedback, pictures, and drive sales directly allows for a cost effective option for brands to reach consumers with new or existing products. Camps, leagues, tournaments and organizations of all types, shapes and sizes will benefit from SCFederation’s free membership. SCF has also opened up their network to families directly through in-home sampling programs with coupons on products that families can use on a daily basis.

Kneeling March from Camp Casey to Office of Dick Celeste, Monday, Dec. 5, at 1 PM

Kneeling March from Camp Casey to Office of Dick Celeste, Monday, Dec. 5, at 1 PM










Colorado Springs (PRWEB) December 4, 2005

Student and community groups to ask Colorado College president to add “Democracy Now!” to KRCC programming

A sustained campaign by Colorado College students and KRCC listeners to convince the radio station management to add programming from Democracy Now! will culminate, Monday, in a kneeling march to present letters and petitions to the college’s president, Dick Celeste. Marchers have chosen to crawl several city blocks on their knees from the peace camp, Camp Casey, to Celeste’s office in Worner Center.

Organizers say that they are marching on their knees on the pavement in winter weather, not in protest of Celeste, the college, or its radio station KRCC, but in solidarity with those who suffer under oppression. Democracy Now!, which is carried by over 350 radio stations daily, devotes much of its news coverage to stories often overlooked by mainstream media, and has won awards for it’s coverage of the plight of East Timor, and of Nigerian people exploited and murdered by Chevron Oil.

“We are presenting letters and signatures to Mr. Celeste,” said organizer, Eric Verlo. “Getting on our knees to march is an appropriate symbolic action,” he added, “in bringing attention to the importance of Democracy Now!, which is often the only broadcast programming to present the voices of the unheard, who are being driven to their knees every day.

Organizers say that they are making their presentation to Celeste, who is part of the KRCC management group, because they have been previously rebuffed by KRCC station manager, Mario Valdes. Citing a statement Valdes made in the station’s membership newsletter, in which he wrote that Democracy Now! has a “mission of advocacy journalism”, Verlo said that he doesn’t accept that position. “One would assume that Mr. Valdes knows and appreciates the difference between partisan advocacy journalism outlets such as Fox News on the right or Air America on the left, and independent news media such as Democracy Now! which historically challenge any and all political power structures,” he said.

Gary Betchan, of Pikes Peak Media Reform, one of the groups behind the campaign, said, said he dropped his membership at KRCC in protest of the station’s failure to add Democracy Now! programming. “This should be an easy sell at a liberal arts college radio station,” he said. “By KRCC’s own statement, Democracy Now! has topped a list of requested new programming, and there is no cost to the station to pick up the free broadcast.” He added, “Democracy Now! breaks stories that KRCC’s current news programs from NPR, PRI, and BBC ignore. The refusal by Mr. Valdes to accept this free programming is in effect an interference in the reporting of news that otherwise goes uncovered.

Amy Goodman, host and executive producer of Democracy Now!, addressed a group of about 900 at the college in 2004. Colorado College students have been working on a similar signature-gathering campaign within the student body. A delegation of students will petition Mr. Celeste in his office at 1 PM, in advance of the arrival of the community procession. Student, Jocelyn Vaughan, said, “Station management should understand that students and KRCC members in the community are together on this push to change the current media landscape.” She added, “It would be wise for KRCC, which intends to represent the holistic mentality of liberal arts education, to consider the requests of its listeners to add balance and repertoire to its station.”
