Product, Adventure, Insight and Design.
Those pretty much sum up the pillars here at Gear Patrol and we wake up each morning keeping them at our core as we obsessively seek out the next great product, adventure or story.
Discerning readers and influencers look to GP for our curated blend of finds, easy-to-read insights, friendly long-lead product reviews and an authentic perspective on trends and lifestyle decisions. Combined with high production imagery, design and videos we strive to put together a great package for our readers.
We’ve got a lot of exciting initiatives in the works here at GP (like our iPad app) and we’re eager to find great brands and people to work with. Our goal is to bridge hype-free messaging about great products and men’s interests to our captivated readers. It’s how we measure our success and with the help of a lot of coffee, we think the payoff is 100% worth the effort. In other words, we’re trying to bring the magic of the catalog back.
Gear Patrol: Spirit of Adventure. Passion for Gear.
Our Growing Audience: Gear Patrol reaches nearly 750,000 avid readers who voraciously seek out purchasing and lifestyle decision knowledge. Not only are our faithful and fantastic readers hungry to learn where to spend their hard-earned money, but they’re also aspirational, adventurous, graduate-level educated, active-lifestyle men ages 18-44.
Not just posts. Endorsements. What does a single “post” on Gear Patrol mean for your brand/product? Quite a bit actually. A single post on GP means that you not only reach our highly sought after readers, but many other editorial merchandising benefits, which include: inclusion in our brand-spanking new iPad app (an iTunes top 10 lifestyle iPad app) that already reaches 50,000 captivated readers, near-instant indexing in Google searches for evergreen traffic to your site, posting to our 16,000+ Facebook fans’ walls and a tweet to our 11,000+ Twitter followers. We’ve come a long way from the old school “magazine mention”. Doesn’t your product deserve the same?
