VALENCIA, VA (BRAIN) — Hi-Torque Publications has hired Kirk “KB” Bausch as advertising manager for all eight Hi-Torque titles, including its titles in the cycling and motorcycle fields.
Bausch was most recently with LaPierre North America, where he was director of sales and marketing.

I love working with brands and helping them develop stronger campaigns, creative marketing ideas and partnerships. I believe there are a lot of untapped opportunities out there, and I plan to help accomplish all the goals they have set forth.”
Hi-Torque titles include BMX PLUS!, Mountain Bike Action, Road Bike Action, Dirt Bike, Motocross Action, Dirt Wheels, ATV UTV Action and, coming this fall, Electric Bike Action.
