2012 Wattie Ink. Elite Team Roster Announced

First of all, Wattie Ink. would like to personally thank each and every person who took the time and effort to submit an application for our new Elite Team program.  The response has been both overwhelming and humbling.

A quick shout-out to all of the International applications we received: We did not anticipate the response we received from outside of the US and we can’t thank you enough for your time and interest in the team. Unfortunately, our company is not set-up for team operations outside of the US at this time, but we have plans to expand into Europe, Asia, and Australia in 2013.  With that said, we are actively looking for representatives in these key areas and plan to reach out to all of you as we start planning for our 2013 team roll-out. We apologize again for not announcing this prior to releasing team applications and want to thank-you again for your time on the apps and for following the Wattie Ink. brand!

Also, a note to the many younger applicants, and we had a bunch of great ones!  We have plans to roll-out a developement squad in 2013 to use as a farm team to find our next crop of top Wattie Ink. professionals.  We have placed you in our database and will be contacting you as the program comes together.

We have spent our entire holiday break carefully combing over the hundreds of applications we received (approximately 1,000!), narrowing the list down to the 50 athletes we thought could best help market our brand based on race results, 2012 race schedules, social media participation on both Facebook & Twitter, and overall excitement to Rock the W!  We also had to take into account existing sponsorships that conflicted with our partners.

With that said, we would like to personally present the 2012 Wattie Ink. Elite Team.
