Wild Thang getting in a muddle, for a medal!

Wild Thang are proud to support BTR Road Runners who organized their first Medal Muddle 5K, which is a community running event, raising £800 for the RNLI whilst welcoming new runners of all abilities and having a positive environmental impact.

Wild Thang Managing Director Andrew Dwerryhouse commented: “When we were first told about the Medal Muddle concept we were so impressed and said straight away that Wild Thang definitely wanted to be involved somehow to support this unique community led 5K series of race events. We have been a supplier to BTR for many years so know the collaboration and partnership can make a real difference so we are genuinely proud to have got involved from the very beginning. As a company it ticked a number of areas from a CSR point of view, supporting a community volunteer led running club and raising much needed money for local charities. But in turn upcycling products to minimise waste. With sustainability being central to our ISO 14001 environmental certification it was a perfect fit to give those t-shirts and medals a new lease of life, making sure they did not get muddled up into having a negative environmental impact”

BTR Race Director Alan Rothwell commented: “We’re delighted to donate past race event medals and T-shirts as part of our commitment to going green and doing our bit for the environment. BTR Road Runners are delighted to have the support of our long running supplier, Wild Thang, it’s fantastic they are involved in this new and innovative initiative which also meets their sustainability standards.”

The next race is taking place on the 28th September 2019 with funds raised this time going to Pawprints Wildlife Rescue Charity.

MERCHANDISE IN ACTION Raising A Glass To St Patrick’s Day!

Given that St Patrick’s day is very nearly upon us it had to be this week’s merchandise in action. St Paddy’s revellers really know how to have a good time and a little bit of branded merchandise seems to be part and parcel of celebrating everything Irish and everything green.

I am quite fond of the black stuff so here are a few interesting facts for you, did you know it’s estimated that 13 million pints of Guinness will be consumed worldwide on St. Patrick's Day & Guinness has been enjoyed at every St. Patrick’s Day since Arthur Guinness set up his brewery in 1759 so we say have fun, drink sensibly and know your limits.

We love this photo of the revellers which I think is really capturing the spirit and fun of one of the biggest days certainly in the Irish calendar. When it comes to branding we should never underestimate the power of the photograph to capture the moment of any event & deliver real impact, think PR exposure, think the endless social media sharing or competitions on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook & Snapchat.
