Discover Boating Launches TikTok Campaigns

By MDA Staff Published on August 25, 2022

Discover Boating, powered by the National Marine Manufacturers Association and Marine Retailers Association of America, launched two pilot TikTok campaigns this summer – #BoatAppetit and #WaterWear – to further engage the next generation of boaters and connect with the brand’s target audience in an authentic way on a platform where they are already consuming content.

Leveraging TikTok’s popular food and fashion categories, Discover Boating selected influential content creators to share their favorite recipes to bring aboard and showcase their best boating attire.

Rather than a “traditional” media buy, this strategic effort allowed Discover Boating to break through to consumers across a variety of demographics and interests and helped tell the industry’s story through relevant influencers who encouraged their engaged followers to get on the water and learn more at DiscoverBoating.com.
