Challenge

How can Oakley drive local awareness and foot traffic for Oakley Community Days through authentic creator content?

Strategy

Strategic Creator Selection

Oakley partnered with nano creators based in and around Whistler whose audiences aligned with the brand’s values. Each creator was selected for their strong community presence and ability to authentically promote the Oakley experience throughout the weekend.

Story-Driven Engagement

In addition to in-feed posts, creators were briefed with clear story guidelines and unique CTAs tailored to their style. Each creator focused on a different Oakley kit, posted multiple stories across the weekend, and promoted the main Saturday Rail Jam event and goggle demos-driving real-time excitement.

Exclusive Incentives to Drive Action

Each influencer received five unique 20% off coupon codes to share with friends and family, valid only during the event weekend. This created urgency and gave followers a tangible reason to show up and engage.
