Introduction
The Product — The Engineering Story at the Point of Purchase
The Ambassador Program — The Outdoor Community Voice
YETI's Ambassador program connects the brand to the serious hunters, anglers, outdoor chefs, and adventure athletes who put the equipment through the conditions it was designed for. A talking QR code on Ambassador program materials plays the story of a specific Ambassador — what they do outdoors, what YETI equipment they rely on and why, what the specific moment was when the performance difference mattered most, and what being part of the YETI Ambassador community means to them in terms of the outdoor values they share with every other person who takes their outdoor time seriously. A YETI customer who hears this story from an Ambassador understands that their purchase connects them to a community of people who take the outdoors as seriously as they do.
The Conservation Story — The Outdoors Worth Protecting
A talking QR code on YETI conservation materials plays the story of the outdoor environments that make the outdoor pursuits that YETI's community values possible — what the specific conservation partnerships that YETI supports are working to protect, what the connection is between wild land preservation and the specific outdoor experiences that YETI's customers pursue, and what the YETI community's collective advocacy for outdoor access and conservation has accomplished. A YETI customer who understands the conservation commitments that come with the brand purchase has a relationship with their cooler that no specification comparison can articulate — they are supporting the outdoors that makes their outdoor life possible.
