DescConsumer Engagement: In FY 2015 awareness of the Take Me Fishing brand rose dramatically among RBFF's target audiences and contributed to the roughly eight percent increase in the likelihood that consumers exposed to Take Me Fishing media will go fishing, take someone else fishing, or boat for the purpose of fishing. The focus on families by RBFF and the Walt Disney World Resort is core to the success of its alliance. Take Me Fishing-branded catch-and-release fishing and boating experiences at three Resort locations delivered millions of impressions and navigated guests to TakeMeFishing.org. The alliance grew to seven locations by year's end. Meanwhile, Take Me Fishing-branded messages have reached millions of families on Disney Media Networks' Disney XD and Disney Channel TV programming, Radio Disney, Radio Disney events in Texas and Florida, online content and mobile apps.In FY 2015, 9.1 million consumers visited TakeMeFishing.org. Public relations cast 2,600 stories the public's way, resulting in well over a billion impressions across top local daily newspapers, local-market TV network stations and nationwide online favorites. RBFF's first Top 100 Family Friendly Places to Boat & Fish sweepstakes alone pulled in 500 stories and 130 million media impressions, while driving new visitors to TakeMeFishing.org. Top social media platforms connected 218,000 friends and followers to significantly expand the Take Me Fishing virtual family, while the email database, used for newsletter distribution and ongoing contact, almost doubled. Launched this year, RBFF's Spanish language site Vamos a Pescar was developed to attract the millions of outdoor enthusiasts among the country's large and growing Hispanic population to boating and fishing. In a year's time site reeled in 400,000 visits and plenty of "big fish" industry awards. The site is built on a responsive mobile-friendly platform. In addition, conservation media impressions from public relations stories grew 3.6 percent and social media channels picked up and shared conservation infographics and blog content. The conservation section of TakeMeFishing.org not only draws attention to conservation, but also to the why's and hows of accomplishing it. This year's traffic to the section rose 21.5 percent.Desc

DescState Engagement: FY 2015 was an excellent year for RBFF's state agency-focused programs. More than 125 representatives from a record 48 states and the District of Columbia attended the eighth annual State Marketing Workshop, where they learned from branding, web marketing and consumer-trend experts how to reach Hispanic customers and attract other key markets.States also built their marketing capacity through RBFF's quarterly State Webinar Series, and RBFF expanded its state partnerships in State Fishing License and Boat Registration Marketing Programs. Forty states participated in the program directed to lapsed anglers, and 21 states participated in the program directed to lapsed boat owners. The two programs brought states a combined $7 million in gross program revenue.Desc

DescIndustry Engagement:Stakeholders welcomed the year's wave of RBFF studies, how-tos and resources for turning new groups of consumers into a surge of new customers.As part of its new Hispanic marketing campaign, RBFF commissioned the Hispanic Boating Path to Purchase study and co-developed with Discover Boating a video documentary featuring the boat-owning Vazquez family. Two other studies, RBFF's Retail Customer Experience Assessment (RBFF's "Mystery Shopper" study) and the 2014 Special Report on Fishing, delivered insights into the general public's in-store customer experience and fishing participation. RBFF followed through on its research, developing carefully targeted marketing materials for stakeholders' use, such as ready-to-use multicultural photos, how-to videos and a Spanish translation guide. Industrywide, stakeholders leveraged and supported RBFF initiatives. A number of stakeholders incorporated Take Me Fishing and Vamos a Pescar branded materials into their marketing and retailing. RBFF's non-Federal funding rose to unprecedented levels, and this year's State Marketing Workshop attracted record sponsorship. With Johnny Morris of Bass Pro Shops' $125,000 contribution, RBFF created the George H.W. Bush Vamos A Pescar Education Fund to increase Hispanic participation in fishing and boating. The fund soon grew with The Walt Disney Company's generous $50,000 donation.Desc
