Carl Buddig and the Chicago Blackhawks Score Partnership

For a second year, Carl Buddig & Co. is sponsoring Chicago’s hometown favorite, the Chicago Blackhawks, with a multimedia marketing campaign throughout the 2014-15 hockey season. The marketing campaign covers the entire 82-game National Hockey League (NHL) season and includes in-game advertising and promotions; an ad campaign airing on WGN TV and WGN Radio; digital ads with WGNradio.com and the Chicago Tribune; in-store advertising and Point-of-Sale (POS); out-of-home advertising; cinema advertising with NCM Theater network; and WGN Radio Fan Van stops at grocery stores throughout the Chicagoland area. Throughout the season, the WGN Radio Fan Van Tour will feature retail stops with giveaways and family friendly activities. In support of youth hockey, Buddig also is a sponsor for Blackhawks Youth Hockey Camps providing advanced coaching techniques to children ages 5-12. “Our Blackhawks sponsorship has been a huge success with our hometown fans and retailers, and we look forward to another winning season,” says Tom Buddig, executive vice president of marketing, Carl Buddig & Co. “Just like Buddig lunchmeats and Old Wisconsin meat snack products, the Chicago Blackhawks have been a local fixture, and we’re proud of our continued association with this legendary team.” Popular and award-winning TV spots created for last year’s campaign will air again on WGN TV. These show the relationship forged between mom and son as he is transformed from a toddling tot into a skilled hockey player. Featured products supported by the sponsorship include Buddig Original Lunchmeats, Buddig Premium Deli, Buddig Deli Cuts and Old Wisconsin Meat Snack Products (Snack Bites, Snack Sticks and Summer Sausage). In conjunction with this sponsorship, Buddig invites fans to learn more about game-friendly recipes, tips and ideas for hosting the perfect tailgate party at a Twitter Party the brands will host on Oct. 14  from 8 to 9 p.m. EDT using #BuddigPowerPlay.
