What is this activity?
GO AWOL kayak tours are something special. Whether you do another active sport and just want time out to see Poole Harbour in a totally different way or want to get into your kayaking, this is a great way to try the sport out. If you’re brave, bring a camera along to capture some memories from the day, but remember to keep it in a waterproof bag or risk the consequences. After all this is not a stay-dry sport!
GO AWOL use a BCU qualified instructor as a guide and supply all the equipment needed, but if you have your own please bring it. Their ‘sit on top’ touring kayaks are so easy to use you need no experience, single or two seaters are available. They can also supply Stand up Paddleboards for use on the tours. All tours include regular breaks.
When, what time and how much?
The first trip will run on Friday 27th May, we will meet in Poole at 9am and it will cost £35 per person. The tour of the island takes about 2.5hrs, all kit is provided including wetsuits, you simply rock up with your swimming costume, sun tan cream and a sense of adventure!
We are delighted to welcome GO AWOL on board as a new client.
Our team will be working closely with GO AWOL, implementing a PR and SEO strategy to increase brand awareness and increase bookings of outdoor adventure activities.
A little bit about GO AWOL…

NBG launched a new website yesterday for an exciting Kitesurfing challenge that will happen later this year.
The Channel Challenge 2011, will take a group of kitsurfers of mixed abilities across the English Channel in an attempt to create a new Guinness World Record. The challenge itself is tough, crossing a stretch of water 24 miles wide and ensuring that the conditions are good is one thing but this combined with the fact that 10 kites are required to safely cross to create a new World Record. We should also remember that the English Channel is one of the busiest shipping channels in the world!
Good luck guys, you’ve certainly got a challenge on your hands!

Kitesurf.me a new UK Kiteboarding Blog
We’ve just launched a new UK Kiteboarding Blog that aims to document our sessions out on the water and talk about the brands and products our agency works with.
Over the next few months, we will be busy braving the winter chill and testing the CrazyFly 2011 products, our sessions will be documented and our aim is to get some crazy review videos up on the Blog.
Know your product or service…
Sadly, it’s not enough to build a product and assume it will be the base of your brand. Just ask Apple about Apple TV, Microsoft about Zune. Unless your strap line is “Yes, it’s totally free,” then don’t plan on having a product sell itself–or your company.
First, consider what makes the product truly unique. How will it avert pain, bring pleasure and envy to all who use it and, most important, make people talk about it? As a young company, advertising is expensive and brand development can be slow, so word-of-mouth is going to be your primary aim.
Be an expert on your business, product or service…
You’ve just developed a product that is going to change the world. Congratulations. You’re also now an expert–on your product, the state of the world that gave rise to your product, the problem or issues that your product is solving, the people who buy your product (and those who would never buy your product–and why they’re losers), and how your product will impact the world.
When you’re a thought leader, you’re influencing buyers to believe that they could have never lived without your perspective–or your product. This isn’t easy: It means gathering stats, hearing what your competitors are saying and developing a bullet proof marketing strategy. A true expert understands how to be relevant to the untapped market he or she seeks, and how to reach and connect to them. By looking a little further down the road and prognosticating what’s to come, you become the thought leader for your industry. Now you just have to be right and make it happen!
Give your clients or consumers a brand promise…
Think of the brands you love: BMW, McDonald’s, Apple…
Well, maybe you don’t love McDonald’s but think about the promise these companies make to you? Do they fulfill it? Every time? Of course they do. Whether it’s engineering, a reliable meal, great service or innovation, they have made a promise to every consumer that they will fulfill it, every time, no excuses. The brand promise is a method of establishing trust and a foundation for your brand, growing your brand and gaining strong brand awareness.
To uncover your own brand promise, dig deep to answer these three questions:
Why did you build this product?
What can you absolutely deliver on, 100 percent of the time, no questions asked?
How are you making your customer’s life better every day?
Remember, Ray Kroc never set out to make the best burger; he set out to make the most reliable burger restaurant on the planet. BMW isn’t making the cheapest car, the coolest car or the family car; it’s simply the best-engineered car. That’s what the top engineers from Germany will promise you every time. Their customers’ lives are made better because each time they sit in that car, they’re closer to automotive genius. That promise being met is what makes the customer come back.
And when you have a repeat customer, you have a brand.
