Town of Vail
Customer Success Story
The town of Vail wanted to be positioned as one of the world's top summer destinations. However, extensive research showed that people's overall perception of Vail was snobby, lacked activity, and wasn't fun. Additionally, Vail didn't have the budget to compete on national branding platforms. Untraditional Marketing decided to create a very specific dynamic environment to present to key audiences that Vail is fun, down-to-earth, and not snobby. This was achieved by creating a "spoof" called the adult "Big Wheel Event". Click here for more information on Vail's Big Wheel Event.
