The Show
Must Go On
Campaign Mission
As the need for virtual compatibility for businesses increased through the Covid-19 Pandemic, the annual Highway Marine Boat Show needed to evolve to meet this unprecedented situation. We took on this challenge head-on a forged a plan to guide Highway Marine through this venture.
Campaign Summary
The Highway Marine 2021 Boat show was a combination of virtual and in-person events. Due to a need for virtual at-home options for prospective customers and attendees, we had to devise and pitch a method for the Show to be experienced at home and did so by creating an entire video production of the boat show with both live and prerecorded segments and broadcasted it for 3 days on YouTube. To add to the event we also created a virtual version of the treasure chest giveaway featured at the boat show every year.
Campaign Methods
In this new economic environment, we needed to change up how we approach campaigns. Through careful planning and communications with Highway Marine, we generated customer engagement through tv and radio commercials, PPC, SEO, and emails.
