Camping it up with a fast-growing global brand

Aruga packed its swag and partnered with the world’s largest provider of outdoor stays to get off the beaten track and find new ways to make Hipcamp a household backyard name.

With nothing off-limits, Aruga worked sock-in-boot with the team at Hipcamp to unearth unique storytelling opportunities, relevant news and events that our leaders could lend expert commentary to and like-minded brands to create exciting partnerships.

This approach saw Australian traffic increase 35.6% and the team celebrate their “biggest booking month ever” almost every month.

With a well-rounded campaign reaching industry and consumers, Aruga helped entice more people outdoors than ever before.
