Helping Black Series Camper with their US Market Entry
At We Are Unicorns (WAU), we specialize in guiding global brands through successful US market entry. One of our most exciting collaborations was with Black Series Campers, an overland camper company with a strong legacy of success in Australia. When they entered the highly competitive US RV market, they brought us on board to elevate their brand reach, establish a foothold, and position themselves as a premium household name in off-road RVs. This blog highlights how we achieved this, from go-to-market strategy to content creation, showcasing the impactful work we delivered.
