Maze Creative founders, John and Brianna Morris, shared their excitement about the award. “We are beyond thrilled and honored to be recognized for our hard work and dedication to our clients. It is a joy to work alongside wonderful organizations like GossRV as a strategic agency partner.
To develop this campaign, we brainstormed new ways to market the benefit of RV travel in the wake of the pandemic. As their agency, we gathered the leadership team to think through ways to encourage people to travel without 1) causing further virus spread and 2) putting clients in potential harm’s way. Self-containment was the key word that came out of that meeting, leading to the campaign “The New Frontier in Luxury Travel.”
To deploy the campaign, Maze created 8 cinematic video and photo assets to showcase Goss RV's 8 custom tours across the United States. For each tour, Maze created a map, a video, a landing page, and a download. Additionally, Maze created a press kit complete with photo and video assets that was picked up by major media outlets.
