Nate DeMercurio Portfolio

I'd like to give you a sense of my writing and photography capabilities. Aside from the other three most recent posts on this blog and the digital marketing project, the written content is from eight or more years ago when I created an endurance sports business blog as I was working directly in the events industry and observing activations first hand. Please take that into account in knowing that I've grown as a marketer since then. I have significantly more professional writing experience in the form of client briefs, strategic marketing plans and program recaps, and I’m very capable of writing brand and product content as well.

Here are a handful of select personal photos; while I am by no means a professional photographer, I believe I have a keen eye for composition and what looks appealing in photo and video; I'm eager to show how I can apply this to the Niner and Batch brands.

Rev3 and blueseventy Promotion

Rev3 Triathlon and blueseventy are running a co-promotion through which athletes receive a free race entry to any Olympic or Half Rev3 event if they purchase a Helix wetsuit (from the Rev3 Store); the offer is also good for half off a race entry for a Full Rev event. The total with shipping for a Helix wetsuit is $665.99, while registrations for the events range from $125-$175 (Olympic), $210-$275 (Half) and $425-$575 (Full) - registration figures reflect price increase after early and middle registration periods. As the offer is good only through this week - March 7th is the deadline - the best registration value is half of the Full Rev, or $212.50, which equates to a 32% discount off the price of the wetsuit. There are three scenarios where an athlete could take advantage of the offer: The athlete is planning to race a Rev3 event The athlete is in the market for a wetsuit The athlete is planning to race a Rev3 event AND is in the market for a wetsuit For scenario #1, would this offer...

Facebook Timelines: Endurance Publications and Resources

Now that Facebook is converting everyone to the new "Timeline" format, it's interesting to see how the endurance community is reacting - are they using the large profile photo for promotion or marketing, using dramatic photos to stir emotion, or are they letting the opportunity go by the wayside? In this case, are they appropriately leveraging their content. This is merely an image gallery (in no particular order) of updated Facebook timelines, the last in a five-part series. Some are creative, some are strategic and some could use work. It's important to remember the primary benefits of having a Facebook page in the first place - allowing a publication to reach, interact with, and learn from athletes through a comfortable medium. Today's focus is on:  endurance publications and resources .

Endurance Travel Flying High

Travel and tourism continues to be one of the largest economic impact factors of endurance events, which has led organizations and events to look at ways to capitalize. In other cases, travel companies tied to endurance brands and events are evolving vacations for athletes looking for unique experiences of a lifetime. Star Events  - producers of cycling, triathlon and running events - recently launched a travel division, Star Travel  offering accommodation packages exclusively for Star Events. Benefits for using this event-hosted service is described as accommodation in preselected hotels, private apartments and villas all in walking distance from the start and finish line, insider information for training facilities, cozy restaurants, and attractive sites worth sightseeing. It's not surprising to see an event series branch out and offer it's participants travel packages and could be a likely brand extension for a series like Rock 'n' Roll or Ironman, provided they t...
