Brewdocking with Jon Montgomery Campaign Results

“Brewdocking” with celebrity host Jon Montgomery was intended to inspire current and prospective RVers to take a vacation on the road this year. With the help of our PR agency, Agnostic, the campaign garnered impressive results – bringing in 14.5M impressions to date, along with 107 media hits across TV, print, online, and social outlets, proving the appetite for inspirational RV content and educating audiences how to make the most of their RV trip.

To showcase the series, brewdocking.ca features all the episodes and information on how to explore your backyard, and discover local breweries across the country.

To drive further traffic to the series, a contest was held for one audience member to win the Brewdocking RV, with a total of 30,000 contest entries, and bringing in 150,000 website views.

Thank you to Rangeland, Karma Campers, Campkins, and Bucars for their support in making the Brewdocking campaign a huge success!

Introducing the “Gift of Canada” Campaign

What if we could reconnect one very special family, and all of us, through the power of RVing? The Gift of Canada campaign is intended to inspire Canadian’s to do just that.

The new creative campaign brings together two family members who were separated over the pandemic through the joys of RVing. We have leveraged influencer Ricky Forbes in english, and Eve on the Road in French to be the face of the video campaigns, and to encourage additional reach across their own social platforms.

The Gift of Canada campaign is intended to garner Nationwide media coverage, promoting the RV lifestyle and gorving.ca as the preferred method to reconnect with loved ones, nature, and foster new memories.

Stay tuned for more program updates as we launch the campaign in early November 2022.

New Market Research Gains Insight into Today’s Consumer

We are thrilled to announce Go RVing Canada is initiating a Nationwide market research study in partnership with research firm Ipsos, with an objective to gain detailed insight into today’s consumer.

Canadians have adapted how they spend their free time through the pandemic, and much has changed in our industry during the last few years. As new buyers come into the market, it is important that we continue to encourage participation and enjoyment of the RV lifestyle for both prospects, and owners – this research will provide updated psychographics and purchase habits to strengthen our marketing strategies, produce relevant content-rich media, and form meaningful partnerships.

The research study will be available for RVDA dealers too access to help improve their own marketing strategies.
