Success Story
Our work with Jefferson County demonstrates Bull Moose Marketing’s ability to develop a comprehensive, data-driven brand strategy that aligns with tourism and community development goals. By creating a cohesive identity and logo centered on local heritage and traditions, we delivered a roadmap with actionable initiatives, KPIs, and marketing tools.
Need
The JCDD required an original brand strategy with original branding elements as well as a supporting marketing plan. The Jefferson County Department of Development was tasked as the county’s new Travel Promotion Agency but had no marketing infrastructure for promoting the county which includes the home of Punxsutawney Phil and Groundhog Day.
Approach
Bull Moose’s approach to Clarion County’s destination brand strategy was comprehensive and data-driven. The process began with extensive research, including community surveys, stakeholder interviews, and a SWOT analysis, complemented by consumer segmentation. This informed the development of a brand identity centered that yielded the tagline “Your Trailhead to Happiness.” The team identified six prime audiences and crafted targeted marketing campaigns for each. Four strategic initiatives were formulated, aligned with the county’s vision, and a brand maturity model was created to guide progress. The strategy incorporated recommendations for appropriate marketing channels and current trends along with associated Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and potential funding sources, resulting in an actionable strategy.
Outcome
The outcome of Bull Moose’s strategy provided the CCEDC with a comprehensive roadmap for establishing Clarion County as a compelling tourist destination. It delivered a defined brand identity, targeted marketing approaches, and a stakeholder engagement framework. The actionable implementation plan included, branding guidelines, KPIs, measurement tools, and relevant funding. The strategy aligned tourism initiatives with broader community development goals, emphasizing sustainability. This holistic approach equipped CCEDC to revitalize Clarion County’s visitor economy while contributing to overall community development.
