Athlon Outdoors’ Roeder Recognized for Folio: 2020 Class of Top Women in Media

Athlon Outdoors’ Carrie Roeder was selected as a Folio: 2020 Top Women In Media Honoree in the Corporate Champions Category last week, an award bestowed to an elite group of media professionals representing the best and brightest minds in magazine and digital media. Folio: is the publishing industry’s go-to source for news, business intelligence and peer-to-peer networking.

In less than 3 years as Athlon Outdoors Sr. Director of Marketing and Operations, Carrie Roeder helped convert a male-dominated, newsstand-driven magazine company into a dynamic, brand-centric multimedia leader. By restructuring the media portfolio into four distinct brand channels, adding cutting-edge digital solutions and software to build Native advertising and streaming video operations, maximizing digital efficiencies, developing new sponsored sales opportunities, reimagining 3 websites and launching 4 new websites, she helped propel Athlon Outdoors into a leader in its genre. In addition, she leads several major offsite events each year, hosting a mix of advertising clients, content creators and executives numbering in the hundreds (including Athlon Outdoors’ Editorial Rendezvous, a multi-day rotational conference).

In the past 2 years, Athlon Outdoors tripled advertising revenue, developed the largest digital audience among any of its competitors, helped grow an opt-in digital list to nearly 700,000 emails (from scratch!), and established cutting-edge delivery software on four websites. Today, Athlon Outdoors operates 7 websites; 21 social media channels; numerous e-newsletters; podcasts; video hosting, streaming and production services; and works with advertising clients to deliver multi-platform programs providing targeted solutions to marketing challenges.
