Designing a simple WordPress Content Marketing Website for the Fishing Community
Epic Waters Angling provides content for spey anglers and provides reports for fishing in northern British Columbia and Alaska. Spey angling is a method of fly fishing for anglers targeting fish on fast-moving river systems. This non-traditional method uses a two-handed casting technique that allows anglers two quickly and efficiently cover runs.
The Challenge
Epic waters were utilizing an out-of-date Drupal system to produce and manage their content. The Epic Waters team needed a simple, modern system to support content marketing for their northern lodges.
Our Approach
Working closely with the Epic Waters team we designed a simple WordPress content marketing website to drive content production and capture leads for remarketing. The system also required a simple eCommerce system to support sales of flies, t-shirts, and promotional material.

Digital Strategy
The existing Drupal website had great content, but limited visitors. Epic needed to find a way to drive users to the website. A review of their target audience revealed that many potential customers spent their time on Instagram when they were not on the river. Instagram provides these users with an opportunity to check productivity on northern river systems and plan for upcoming adventures. In order to drive traffic to the website, Epic Waters set up an Instagram profile to promote content and drive users to the site.
Once users complete reading an article they are prompted to join the mailing list. This feature ensures users are notified when a new post is published and provides users with a discount on upcoming lodge vacations. Users navigating to close the window are also prompted to join the mailing list.
