The 2024 campaign for Visit Rainier Pierce County sought to increase overnight stays in Pierce County by driving tourism through a year-round strategic digital advertising campaign. The campaign promoted the region’s unique lodging options, while balancing a cohesive overall theme with the distinct character of individual cities and towns.
To achieve the goal of increased tourism and lodging bookings, the campaign focused on:
The creative direction was inspired by the adventurous and wanderlust-driven spirit of the Visit Rainier brand, distinctly divided into flights for each season. The campaign was designed to attract diverse audience segments, including young adults, families, and friend groups, through a variety of tailored themes. For example, the “Girls’ Trip” concept targeted younger travelers, while other messaging catered to families seeking seasonal adventures.
To reinforce the campaign’s seasonality and immersive appeal, all visual elements were carefully curated to reflect the region’s natural beauty across winter, spring, summer, and fall. The result was a dynamic and engaging campaign that not only drove measurable engagement but also authentically captured the essence of Pierce County as a premier travel destination.
