Some of CRUX Event's most familiar brand partners are, not surprisingly, among the most recognized entities in the world of sports marketing. The team worked with ESPN to introduce new sports categories such as Skier Cross, Ski Slopestyle and Ski Superpipe to the Winter X Games, resulting in a dramatic increase in viewership and paving the way for the X Games growth to more than 230 athletes with broadcast range of over 190 countries worldwide. This same group helped launch Red Bull in the U.S. through progressive programs such as Flugtag, Crashed Ice and Rampage, which have now become synonymous with the brand's unique personality and helped catapult it to its place atop the energy drink industry.

CRUX Event's newest assignment is the creation of Jeep 48Straight, the largest sports, music and entertainment event in the country. The event combines summer mountain bike racing and winter skier and boarder cross and halfpipe events with dozens of live concerts, arts and cultural programs and a wealth of environmentally focused activities designed to empower people to celebrate and connect with the outdoor lifestyle.
