Bogs Footwear Debuts Ambassador Program

Bogs Footwear (http://www.BogsFootwear.com), maker of the most warm, waterproof and comfortable footwear on the market since 2002, debuted its Bogs ambassadors as part of the new Every Foot Matters campaign. The campaign will feature everyday heroes who wear Bogs doing what they love most – whether it's work, play or everything in between.

The first four Bogs ambassadors featured on the site include: Karen Bertelsen, a Canadian DIY blogger; Nate Brown, an organic dairy farmer from Belgrad, MT; Ryan Rickert, an entrepreneur and hunting enthusiast from Bozeman, MT; and Sean Conroe, an urban farmer and landscaper hailing from Seattle. Each ambassador is featured on the new and improved Bogsfootwear.com, which features a community section, new blog, improved product pages, technology videos and more. Throughout the end of the year, Bogs will continue to introduce new ambassadors to its community – including an outdoor school founder, husband and wife team of cyclocross racers, a team of brewers from New Belgium Brewery and more.

"At Bogs, the focus has always been to develop the right footwear to help our customers get the job done," said David Cook, marketing director for Bogs. "Our new ambassador program celebrates these hard-working, everyday heroes who need the best possible protection in all elements. So whether you're a dairy farmer or a cylcocross racer, we hope each visitor to Bogsfootwear.com finds a story that resonates."

Led by the creative team at Redhaus (a Portland-based creative agency), the Bogsfootwear.com homepage welcomes visitors with the familiar Bogs style with a twist. Beautiful, full-screen imagery and a clean user interface were used to enhance the Bogsfootwear.com experience.
