The North Face launched a new loyalty program this year to its more than seven million members. XPLR Pass is the evolution of the outdoor retailer’s former VIPeak program, and is intended to create greater value to explorers, giving them access to the best of the brand.

II. #CloudQuarters: A “Serve, Don’t Sell” Pivot During a Pandemic (12:00-12:45pm ET)
#CloudQuarters is a Gold ANA REGGIE Award-winning content marketing and relationship management campaign developed to mitigate a sudden marketing crisis due to Covid-19. Q2 is SADA’s busiest events season, providing the largest source of leads. With all in-person events cancelled, SADA faced a lead vacuum. SADA pivoted to a serve-don’t-sell mantra and developed a resource hub for remote workers called #CloudQuarters, plus a fully-integrated digital campaign.

In this session with SADA’s Director of Creative and Digital Marketing, Lincoln Graham-Lee, and Director of Content Marketing, Kristina Arsenian, you’ll learn how SADA turned a crisis into an opportunity and how reaction and agility helped achieve success. In addition, they’ll discuss the results of the campaign, plus some other surprising outcomes.

Speaker:
Kristina Arsenian, Director, Content Marketing - SADA 
Lincoln Graham-Lee, Director, Creative and Digital Marketing - SADA
