Background
Founded in 1938, the Western National Parks Association (WNPA) is a non-profit organization that supports over 70 parks nationwide.

70+ gift shops across National Parks in the Western United States
700+ routes on AllTrails throughout the 70+ parks
Challenge
Twice yearly, WNPA runs a 2-week fundraising and awareness campaign with paid and organic media to encourage visitors to purchase something in one of their 70+ parks stores (in person or online) and/or become a member.
In partnering with AllTrails, WNPA aimed to elevate the impact of this campaign during the two-week promotional period.
