Cordova Outdoors produces coolers and gear specifically designed for outdoor adventures. Their coolers are engineered to keep food and drinks cold for extended periods in harsh conditions and are known to outperform Yeti coolers.

What we did

New to the scene, Cordova approached us with a strong desire to reach organic audiences on search engines with their line of outdoor coolers and gear. We knew it would take a significant effort to compete with industry titans like Yeti and Yukon. We also knew that we would need a multi-tiered approach to drive this effort.
