Central Park Seasonal Guides

The Project
Develop content and promotional strategy for the Central Park Conservancy’s six seasonal guides each year, to serve as successful lead-gen tools for email sign-ups.

The Strategy
Provide useful, interactive content that enhances the Park visitor’s experience—while highlighting the Conservancy’s role in keeping Central Park thriving.

The Result
Significant email sign-ups each season and web content with strong engagement. Highlights:

  • The 2026 Fall Foliage Tracker saw a 78.6% engagement​ rate, and the 2025 Holiday Guide had a 61.3% engagement​ rate.

  • The 2025 Cherry Blossom Tracker received over 23,000 visits in just one week—over 2x as many visits as the typical most popular webpage—and was featured in The New York Times.

  • Over 15% of all Conservancy donors first signed up for email to gain access to a seasonal guide.
