BOTE & Sean Murphy: How an Image Can Start a Relationship With a Company

Image @BOTE & Sean Murphy

The relationship between BOTE and photographer Sean Murphy started with this image. It is not only a young girl on top of a car. This image conveys strength and dynamism. A picture is worth a thousand words – but this one spoke millions.

I had just started as the Creative Brand Director for BOTE, at the time a relatively new stand up paddle board company, and was looking through the creative assets they had to get me started. I was getting ready to put a catalog together and came across this image. I said to Corey Cooper, the owner of BOTE, “I don’t know who took this shot, but he gets it, and he needs to be our photographer!”  That photographer was Sean Murphy. -said Rob McAbee* -
