October 10, 2018

Oakland, CA – October 10, 2018 – BeAlive, a new digital video entertainment network for the mobile, social generation of outdoor adventure enthusiasts, has inked a partnership with top bass fishing influencer and 2017 Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year Brandon Palaniuk.

At 30, Brandon has accomplished more than most fisherman in a lifetime, with multiple top finishes on the Bassmaster Tour, almost $1M in career winnings, and more than 25 top sponsors such as Huk, Yamaha Outboards, Skeeter Boats, Alpha Angler, GoPro, and Go RVing. Though in addition to being a top bass angler, Brandon has a passion for being both in front of and behind the camera, having grown his own YouTube channel to more than 1.8M views.

“When I started my career as a professional angler, all I wanted to do was be competitive and make a positive impact on future generations, but in recent years, I’ve fallen in love with storytelling through visual media on my own social platforms,” said Brandon. “When I met the team from BeAlive and heard about their mission, I knew it was a perfect fit and a huge opportunity to craft the future of social storytelling around so many of the other passions I share with my fans such as travel, training, and cultural fun.”

Under the terms of the multi-year partnership, BeAlive will be developing and co-producing with Brandon original digital video programming and series based on topics ranging from fishing to adventure sports to outdoor lifestyle. In addition, Brandon will serve as a strategic advisor and brand ambassador for BeAlive’s fishing programming and series development strategy for its audience of 18-34-year-olds who share in Brandon’s passion for the outdoors.

“We are extremely lucky to be partnering with Brandon who is truly a leader of his generation,” said Tracy Benson, co-founder of BeAlive. “In addition to being one of the top anglers of all time, he is an adventurer, athlete, and advocate for great storytelling. He lives for his passions on and off the water, and his distinct point of view makes him extremely relatable to not only fishing fans, but a whole generation of outdoors fanatics who also love to learn, get out and adventure, and have fun.”

Launched in August 2018, BeAlive is the first digital video entertainment network built from the ground up for the mobile, social generation of outdoor adventure enthusiasts. The Company produces and curates high-quality original short-form videos, series and live events, in addition to branded content for its YouTube, Facebook and IGTV channels.
