Description
Steamboat Ski and Resort Corporation is launching a new campaign developed by brand accelerator agency Fortnight Collective to attract new visitors and build upon its legacy as a unique western vacation destination for skiers and snowboarders. The work, the most ambitious integrated marketing campaign by the resort to date, coincides with Steamboat’s 60th anniversary and a $200m capital investment into the guest experience. This is Fortnight’s first work for Steamboat since being named agency of record after a pitch in February of this year.
The creative campaign entitled, “The Steamboat Way,” blends Steamboat’s promise of western hospitality with world-class winter sports through the literary tradition of “cowboy poetry,” a style rooted in ranching culture that dates to the 1800s. Fortnight collaborated with internationally renowned cowboy poet Randy Rieman on the poetic narratives in the ads, which focus at the same time on both cowboy life and skiing. As they are being recited by Rieman, the imagery alternates between scenes of horse riding and skiing at the resort, emphasizing the many similarities between the two.
This professional campaign titled 'The Steamboat Way' was published in United States in October, 2022. It was created for the brand: Steamboat Springs Resort, by ad agency: Fortnight Collective. This Integrated medium campaign is related to the Recreation, Leisure and Travel and Tourism industries and contains 4 media assets. It was submitted over 2 years ago.
