The North Face Summer Base Camp

When a global pandemic shut down summer camps across the United States, we convinced The North Face to come to the rescue with a virtual summer camp featuring their athletes as camp counselors. We worked with the team to launch on IG Stories and spread the campaign via Instagram and Facebook. The Social campaign drove traffic to The North Face’s website where parents could sign up, purchase gear and enjoy content with their kids.

It was a massive success with over 20,000 Signups, 80% New Members, 156M impressions and thousands of happy campers all over the globe.
