ScoutLook has quickly become the most powerful provider of mobile and Web-based weather forecasting tools for American hunters and fishermen. Now, as part of a long-term strategic rollout, ScoutLook has hired Josh Dahlke as Communications and Media Director.
“We’ve been blessed to experience 3 years of astounding growth,” explained ScoutLook Co-Founder Cy Weichert. “With more than 700,000 unique app users and no signs of slowing, we feel it’s time to aggressively begin the next stage of our development as a leading outdoor media company-and that means the addition of content. We’re excited to bring on Josh Dahlke to help us lead this charge. He has a proven track record and solid reputation in electronic media, so we’re confident he will help us achieve our goals.”
Dahlke studied journalism and natural resource conservation at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. Shortly after graduating with a bachelor’s degree, he became editor of a startup digital fishing magazine called Simply Fishing. He then spent a year as an advertising account executive at Genesis Communications, a national radio network. Most recently, from October 2010 until January 2014, Dahlke worked as online editor for North American Hunter. On a freelance basis, he has contributed to numerous well-known hunting publications.
“ScoutLook is a perfect fit for me,” said Dahlke. “I’m over-the-top excited to apply my skills and help build the ScoutLook brand in the outdoor industry. It’s obvious this company is on the leading edge of digital media, especially in the mobile space. I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know ScoutLook Co-Founders Cy Weichert and Bill Little very well during the past 2 years, and it’s clear they share my core personal and professional values. They’re honest and they follow through with their promises. They’re avid sportsmen who support hunting, fishing, conservation and the Second Amendment-at home and in the office. What more could I ask for?”
In addition to his role in content management and development, Dahlke will serve as a key spokesperson for any communications related to ScoutLook.
