Advil: The Road Less Traveled – GSK-Advil partnered with One Solution to create custom digital content that authentically connected with the AA audience to increase consumer engagement and cultural relevance. By highlighting an underrepresented niche of the AA community and sharing relatable stories, the brand was able to foster engagement and establish a larger brand presence within the Black “outdoor enthusiast”-community. The Road Less Traveled is a mini, vlog-style series that showcases Black adventurists who are determined to live their best outdoor life. Covering everything from where to buy equipment, to preventing injuries, adventurists spoke about what it takes to maintain their physical stamina and ultimately provided real advice for other black adventurists looking to break into their respective fields. Our adventurist showcased the essentials that they bring on every adventure and how certain brands help them in their preparation or recovery of their day-to-day activities.
