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?

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.
