Roam & Root - Campaign & Audience Strategy

Context Freelance campaign strategy for Roam & Root, a travel and community brand whose value sits in local rootedness rather than destination scale. The challenge Travel communication defaults to places. The brand needed an idea that made people and local knowledge the reason to choose it. The insight People trust local knowledge more than marketing claims about a destination. Discovery feels credible when it comes from someone who lives there. The strategy “Root Like A Local” — an audience-led campaign idea that turns local insight into the campaign's creative engine and invites the community to contribute to it. Reflection Building this campaign showed me that specificity is a strategic asset — local detail carries further than broad, safe messaging.
