Carp Angling and Fishing Tournaments Marketing

For over seven years, Stellar Marketing Solutions has been actively involved in the emerging market of catch-and-release carp angling in the United States. This ground-level involvement has given us opportunities to not only learn the industry but to grow in direct parity with the market because of our vast knowledge of carp angling related businesses, media, circuit competitors and sponsors both in the U.S. and abroad.

Our experience with ACS Tournaments and as the media coordinator for the 2005 World Carp Championship on the St. Lawrence River in New York State has allowed us to build solid relationships with global fishing media in such places as Japan, Russia, England, France, Romania, Canada, Poland and Asia as well as a host of American media like USA Today, The NY Times, In-Fisherman, Field and Stream and ESPN.

Additionally, we partner with the St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce’s St. Lawrence International Junior Carp Tournament and provide advisory, media and event planning services for this annual event which brings 200 young people and their families to Northern New York each August.

If you have a fishing or outdoors related event, consider us to:

  • Create a marketing and business plan for your overall future or a one-time event
  • Build media exposure – television, print, radio, websites and non-traditional methods
  • Assist with event planning and execution such as constructing a financial budget for your event or assisting with sponsor packaging to many other event-related responsibilities




Stellar Marketing Solutions coordinated the marketing and media for the 2005 World Carp Championship which brought international participants and press from all over the globe to the shores of the St. Lawrence River.
