Branching Out

While Chip and Joanna Gaines are known for their Fixer Upper series, they have many other outlets for their talents. Not only are they branching out in the types of TV series they are offering, but they are finding great partnerships. Chip became an ambassador for Bobcat. He says, “When I heard that Bobcat was interested in partnering with me, I was ecstatic. This is a brand that goes way back for me. When I was a little kid, I remember seeing people driving Bobcat skid-steers, and I couldn’t wait to be in the driver’s seat—which just goes to show that when it comes to world-class equipment, Bobcat is it.”
