Cheer Channel Announces Chassé as Presenting Sponsor of "First Crush"

Austin, TX, April 20, 2014 --(PR.com)-- After two successful seasons with the original hit web-series franchise, Secret Diary of an American Cheerleader, Chassé has extended its commitment to become the series' 'presenting' sponsor of Season 3, entitled, 'First Crush'.

"We are proud to be associated with one of the most respected brands in the spirit industry," said Cindy Villarreal, CEO of Cheer Channel. "Chassé has been a key partner to Cheer Channel and their participation in 'Secret Diary' allows us to present their products in an engaging, entertaining and high-quality environment. The title of 'Presenting Sponsor' honors that commitment."

During Season 1 & 2, Chassé products were visible to fans onscreen as they provided many of the cheer bags, practice clothing and socks which were worn by both cast members and guest stars on the show. Chassé will continue to be the exclusive provider of cheer accessories this season and also be the exclusive provider of custom designed uniforms. This year the Chassé brand will debut its new line of sublimated uniforms where viewers will see them worn by fictional teams. This season Cheer Channel will launch a new viewing widget for Secret Diary: First Crush providing viewers with an immediate click-through to the website to buy items they see featured as well as sign up for a catalogue, newsletter and participate in contests and other crowd engagement offerings.

"We are very pleased to not only have renewed our Secret Diary of an American Cheerleader sponsorship, but also to have increased our participation with and support of the webseries," commented Chassé marketing manager Jessica Rzeszut. "With two successful seasons under their belt, we are confident that Cheer Channel is a great partner to help us launch our newest products, including our sublimated uniforms."
