Brand Storytelling
Narrative Development
Big Sky Resort is an iconic mountain destination that resonates as a place to escape the daily grind. Voicebox worked with this towering Montana resort to develop and weave a narrative around their summer Journey is the Reward brand campaign. Collaborating with internal marketing director and content editor Patrick Conroy, we worked to shape and voice a narrative focused on the mountain running accomplishment of reaching the summit of Lone Peak, yet all the while tapping into the powerful, transportive emotions of personal challenge, active decompression and the uplift of the alpine.
The result for the resort client was a powerful summer storytelling campaign—echoed through their email, social and digital channels—that earned high marks for engagement, reach and click-through while also deepening connections to the essence of their brand across wide bands of demographic groups. Expanding their normal reach far beyond the normal targets the campaign tallied up views on YouTube with an impressive completion rate—far above industry benchmarks for the digital advertising norms.
At times, we doubt
We wonder,
We question,
We challenge ourselves,
We’re not sure why…
Then we feel the forest.
Find the rhythm of the trial.
We focus on our feet.
Tune out the noise in our mind
Leave yesterday’s stress behind
And rise to meet the alpine
Up here
We find courage
Buried deep inside
Tapping strength we didn’t know was there
We breathe in the air, far above the valley floor
It’s like this landscape powers us
It’s like we can almost touch the sky
Then we realize what we’ve done
How far we’ve climbed, the miles that have flown by
and today, without question, you can say…
Lone Peak is mine
