OutDoors Unlimited Media has had a long standing relationship with TJ Stallings, the Public Relations and Marketing Director for TTI Blakemore for many years. When we heard he was the 2015 recipient of the Florida Outdoors Writers Association Horace Carter Award it all made perfect sense.
The Horace Carter Award was created in 1981 to recognize outstanding service to FOWA (Florida Outdoors Writers Association) by a member of the organization. Named after three-time FOWA president Horace Carter (1981, 1982, 1983), the award recognizes members for selfless contributions to FOWA’s goals and objectives.
To us at OutDoors Unlimited Media, TJ has been a perfect supporter of our endeavors and growth, providing support for contests, content for the upcoming magazines and web news, plus the occasionally a great dinner or a campfire toast.
I first was introduced to TJ many years ago when I was organizing a series of bass fishing tournaments in Maine and had reached out to TJ for some help. He asked how I would represent the brand of Diiachi for him and TTI Blakemore, and was happy to hear I had a plan. Several weeks later I had hooks for our anglers to receive as part of their registration gift bags.
We spoke to a good friend of TJ’s, Dan Dannenmueller Sr. who referred to TJ as a Master Marketer. Dan said that TJ’s work with writers and the outdoor media community is masterful. He is always “Johnny On The Spot” to help who ever needs a hand and is someone we all can count on.
TJ, congratulations on this honor.
