Yosemite Mariposa County Tourism Bureau, the official destination marketing organization for Mariposa County, sought to revitalize its brand appeal beyond Yosemite National Park. 

The site’s function is to manage the branding, sales, and marketing efforts for the territory to attract leisure and group overnight stays.

Noble Studios, a creative digital performance marketing agency, led brand strategy through web design and development.

  • The ChallengeMore than just the park

    Yosemite Mariposa needed to show visitors the county has more to offer than the national park alone.

  • The SolutionA creative campaign, rebuilt on WordPress

    Noble Studios paired a new creative campaign with a full website redesign on WP Engine’s platform, aiming to boost engagement and lodging referrals.

ResultsProven performance, award-winning design

The redesigned platform delivered immediate, measurable impact, reducing the bounce rate by 17.1%, increasing overall site traffic by 5.4%, and achieving a 4.37% increase in lodging referral conversions.

The new site was well received by the client and was named Creative Project of the Year at WP Engine’s annual Agency Partner Awards, highlighting its immersive, interactive design.
