CHALLENGE

The first ever official branding campaign for the 208-year-old county. Haywood County’s 555 square miles has four small towns, none of which had appeal on their own to be a main attraction. When coupled with the other amazing cultural, outdoor, and agritourism experiences, the County had the potential to be the attraction, especially in an age with travelers, especially millennials, seeking things real.
