Chicago, Ill. (PRWEB) September 25, 2014
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,” said 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.

· Buddig Original Lunchmeats: In a class all its own
