0 Luxury motorhome brand Hey Campers enlisted the support of travel PR specialists The Tonic Communications to launch the Midlands-based business and capitalise on the growing trend to staycation.
The brief was to:

- Develop content for the website and social channels, to engage target audiences
- Profile the new business, and its founders
- Engage relevant travel bloggers and influencers, to drive awareness among relevant consumer groups.

- Hey Campers selected to appear in series 2 of Channel 5’s Million Pound Motorhomes
