Ripley PR launches Adventure PR, a division created to elevate adventure travel, RV manufacturers, camping and outdoor brands, destinations and resorts through strategic PR campaigns. The new division builds on Ripley PR’s reputation in the home services industry. Just as many RVs serve as full-time homes or vacation getaways, the agency will apply its proven expertise in manufacturing, HVAC and plumbing to the outdoor lifestyle market. By doing so, Adventure PR will help companies that create products for RVs and other recreational vehicles strengthen their connection with customers. Adventure PR is the second specialty agency created by Ripley PR. Orange Orchard, launched in 2018, champions animal welfare nonprofit organizations and pet-friendly brands. “Our team has already worked with a variety of exciting resorts, state tourism organizations and travel brands,” said Ripley PR founder and CEO Heather Ripley. “This valuable experience, combined with our personal passion for exploration, positions us to tell our clients’ stories in ways that inspire travelers and drive real results.”
