OLD FORT, North Carolina (February 3, 2022) — Kitsbow Cycling Apparel is seeking applicants for its 2022 Ambassador program. The premium cycling apparel brand is looking for brand ambassadors who are passionate when it comes tocommunity, cycling and outdoor adventures.
Since relocating to Old Fort, N.C. in late 2019, Kitsbow has embraced numerous initiatives such as training a workforce with no prior experience making premium apparel, helping build trails in Old Fort for access by all, making PPE for first responders and medical professionals, making apparel in a sustainable way to better protect the planet, building and operating a unique retail service with excellent and healthy food made locally, hosting the first bike shop in Old Fort in decades, using only compostable materials in all shipping and packaging, and creating generous employee benefits, including 100% health insurance paid by the company. Kitsbow is now a public benefit corporation, and has started the process to certify as a B Corp.
“Kitsbow has been embracing social and public good since arriving in Western North Carolina to make clothing in 2019,” explains David Billstrom, CEO of Kitsbow. “We are looking to welcome brand ambassadors who give back, are community-minded and reflective of our amazing employee owners who are from diverse backgrounds.”
Kitsbow ambassadors will work closely with the brand to wear-test new gear, provide meaningful feedback, and represent the brand in their community. They’ll also be given a platform to share their adventures, projects, and stories on the Kitsbow blog – as well as social media channels and the brand’s daily emails and newsletter. As in prior years, the 2022 Ambassador commitment will be for one year.
The ambassador application period opens today, February 3, and will close on Sunday, February 13.
