Jake Levine, who’s from Cherryfield Maine, a place we’ve actually been to believe it or not and where a great uncle of ours once owned a big company there called Stewart’s Blueberries, was selected by Snickers to become the an ambassador for the candy company and Burton. It’s an effort by Snickers to smartly reach an audience immune to traditional media. Called The Rover, Jake will traverse the country for a year leading every sk8ter boi’s dream; an all expenses paid position as board sports ambassador, hanging with riders and boarders, attending events and drooling over Gretchen Bleiler. Oh, and he’ll be blogging the whole thing too. Unsupervised and Unedited we’re told. They’re will also be podcasts. And, in a bonus, mud wresting appears to be part of the deal too. There’s more campaign info here.
