#WhatGetsYouOutdoors: Outdoor Channel Consumer Campaign Tag Reaches 1 Million Tags

DENVER (Ammoland.Com) – In January 2014, Outdoor Channel asked consumers: “#WhatGetsYouOutdoors” in a digital and social campaign that was created to spur conversations amongst like-minded outdoor lifestyle aficionados. Today, #WhatGetsYouOutdoors has been used more than one million times on Instagram.

Used by thousands of hunters and anglers every day to showcase their common passion for the outdoors, Outdoor Channel’s #WhatGetsYouOutdoors is one of the most successful hashtag campaigns in the outdoor industry to date and surpasses other well-known, non-endemic hashtag campaigns from companies like Under Armour (#ProtectThisHouse, 91K uses), Food Network’s Chopped (#Chopped, 616K uses) and CBS’s Big Bang Theory (#BigBangTheory, 649K uses), to name a few.

#WhatGetsYouOutdoors embraces the diverse interests that fuel an active and adventure-filled outdoor lifestyle – from bowhunting and fly fishing to cooking, camping and beyond. The campaign was developed to shine a spotlight on bold adventures, regional interests, personal achievements, stewardship, traditions and innovations with the goal of becoming the “go-to” destination for users who foster a passion for the outdoors.

“As most people today know, social media is a huge part of everyday life around the world and media companies are especially drawn to its potential effects on consumers,” Outdoor Sportsman Group President and CEO, Jim Liberatore said. “The Outdoor Sportsman Group digital and social media team has done an extraordinary job in promoting outdoor lifestyle pursuits and the use of #WhatGetsYouOutdoors on Instagram with more than one million tags.”
