    With the outdoor industry being so competitive, credibility is one of the most valuable assets a brand can earn. Whether you’re launching new gear, expanding your reach, or trying to connect with purpose-driven consumers, your success often relies on how your brand is perceived. For outdoor brands, public relations is not just about getting headlines, it’s about building trust, loyalty, and awareness in the crowded market. How Public Relations Builds Credibility  Endorsements Gain Trust More recently, consumers are increasingly skeptical of seeing only paid promotions and polished ads.

    Outdoor brands are not new to urban markets. In fact, without urbanites, the industry wouldn’t exist as we know it. Drive I-87 North from NYC, I-80 East from San Francisco or I-70 West from Denver on a Friday evening and you’ll see outdoor enthusiasts ready to play. Still, many brands’ marketing strategies fall short for citified adventurers, leaving untapped opportunities up for grabs. Experts like the Outdoor Industry Association have reported that urban-dwelling participation is on the rise  — is your brand effectively reaching this growing market?

    How Outdoor Brands Can Grow Their Presence Through Experiential Marketing

    men riding in boat

    Most U.S. consumers see and hear hundreds or even thousands of marketing messages each day. In the vast majority of cases, these messages are promptly tuned out and forgotten. But when brands can find a way to engage their audiences on a deeper level — such as by creating interactive, immersive brand-related experiences — the message is much harder to ignore or forget. By leveraging experiential marketing, outdoor brands can connect with their audiences, set themselves apart from competitors and grow. Why Outdoor Brands Have an Edge in Experiential Marketing Outdoor brands enjoy unique advantages in experiential marketing, largely thanks...

    Embracing Sustainability: How Outdoor Brands Can Effectively Market Their Eco-Friendly Initiatives

    man looking at ocean

    According to research, nearly 9 in 10 consumers consider sustainability when making an outdoor-oriented purchase — and they expect the brands they support to do more than just talk about being eco-friendly. Brands that fail to meet these expectations risk losing trust from this important audience that wants to see real action, measurable impact and honest storytelling. While these consumer demands can be challenging, they can also present opportunities for active lifestyle brands to shine. Outdoor brands that effectively and authentically market their sustainability efforts build credibility, grow brand loyalty and set themselves apart from the competition. Sustainability: A Smart...

    The Role of User-Generated Content in Outdoor Brand Marketing

    There are few places where authenticity is as critical as it is in the outdoor industry. After all, nobody wants a backpacking guide who’s never pitched a tent, a climbing instructor who’s afraid of heights or a fishing rod endorsed by someone who’s never set a hook. Outdoor enthusiasts rely on genuine experiences, trustworthy advice and reliable gear to make their adventures safe and memorable. By leveraging user-generated content (UGC) in their marketing efforts, outdoor brands can boost authenticity, trust, consumer connections, and their businesses. Why Outdoor Brands Should Use UGC User-generated content refers to photos, videos, reviews and other...

    Gone are the days of blasting customers with sales emails. Now, email marketing for outdoor brands must ignite lasting, meaningful connections for success. Companies can’t be afraid to blaze ahead with targeted campaigns that showcase gear guides and product videos, delivering content to subscribers’ inboxes that’s worth paying attention to.
