Wattie Ink – the endurance sport marketing agency with a growing tri team and athlete base – is ‘super excited, pumped and stoked to the point that we all need to sit down and have a Martini’ – as the company has just signed an official partnership with the ‘funny man of triathlon’, Guy Crawford.
Under the deal, Wattie Ink will be Crawford’s exclusive apparel supplier for the 2013 season.
“I’m more than stoked to partner with Wattie Ink,” said Crawford. “Sean [Watkins] has created a great team and atmosphere that really draws you in and makes you want to be part of it. I’m super excited for the year ahead and know we’ll be turning heads wherever we go.”
Crawford’s racing schedule takes him from the desert of Western Australia to the valleys of Boise Idaho. He has proven himself as an athlete to watch, regularly pushing himself into the top 10 at IM 70.3 and IM events worldwide.
“Bringing Guy on to the Wattie Ink family was a no brainer,” said Sean Watkins, President and CEO of Wattie Ink. “His out there personality and killer sense of humor backed with his race results make him the perfect addition to our team. He steals the show where ever he is so we know he will be a great brand ambassador going into 2013.”
Wattie Ink has cited some of the main pseudonyms attributed to Guy Crawford. These include:
- blueseventy Guy – due to his long standing working relationship with the wetsuit and apparel specialist;
- Captain Awesome; and
- Beaker ‘he resembles the puppet off the Muppet show!’
According to the company, ‘Crawford would make a great asset to the already great Wattie Ink team.’ The company goes on to point out that ‘Having been part of the triathlon scene for many years, Guy goes to more events than most people have hot meals and is always up for a chat and laugh, making him the perfect pro to add to the line-up… He’s known as the funny man on tour and he’ll leave you with a smile on your dial should you meet him.’
