Keeper of the Maine Outdoors
While the Department itself was well positioned as the official Keepers of the Maine Outdoors, we wanted to encourage and empower users to become a Keeper of the Maine Outdoors by educating them on the Maine outdoors in a relatable and humorous way. The campaign, which served as an extension of the Department’s tagline “All in for the Maine Outdoors,” included fun, informative videos from actual wardens and biologists (aka the experts) with the primary goal of promoting MDIFW’s mission, programs, and projects. Our strategy was to reach and form connections with audiences who enjoy the outdoors, but were not familiar with the Department and the services they provide, leaving them likely unaware of some of the rules of the outdoors that help to keep themselves, the outdoors and Maine’s wildlife safe.
