GORE Wear appoint Fusion Media as UK PR agency

Leading sportswear brand, GORE Wear, has announced the appointment of Fusion Media as its UK PR Agency. Using its position as a boutique agency focused on endurance sport, Fusion will help GORE Wear grow awareness and understanding of its products amongst British runners, cyclists, hikers and skiers.

Founded in 1985, GORE Wear has long been established as one of the world’s leading sportswear manufacturers.

Priding themselves on developing some of the most technically advanced active clothing on the market, GORE Wear designers work closely with some of the best athletes in the world. Working with long term brand ambassador – and one of the most successful road bicycle racers of all time – Fabian Cancellara, GORE recently announced the launch of its new C7 bib-short range, employing a revolutionary new ‘central torso architecture’ technology.

Fusion Media is tasked with helping GORE Wear to engage with new and existing customers within the UK, as the number of people taking up an active lifestyle continues to grow within the region.
