The Outdoors Project needed a performance marketing solution that could scale across multiple franchise locations, not just one.

Problems client faced

1. Filling Camps Consistently

Franchises struggled to generate bookings quickly and consistently, especially during early-stage launches when local awareness was low.

2. Recruiting the Right Franchise Partners

The business needed franchise partners who genuinely fit the brand and ethos, not just anyone willing to buy in. They needed people with:

  • Experience working with children
  • A passion for outdoor learning
  • The right mindset and values

3. Hiring Qualified Staff

New franchises often struggled to find staff with the right qualifications and experience, especially during peak periods like half-term.
