Beckley is southern West Virginia’s crossroads, where I-64 and I-77 meet a short drive from New River Gorge National Park. Locals search for healthcare, contractors and retail; visitors search for food, lodging and things to do. Those are two audiences with different timing, and they need separate campaigns.
Beckley has about 16,500 residents (U.S. Census Bureau, 2024 estimate) and serves as the retail and medical center for Raleigh County and much of the surrounding coalfield region. Coal mining shaped the city — the Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine is one of its best-known attractions — and healthcare, including a VA medical center, is now a major source of jobs. Tamarack Marketplace, the state’s showcase for West Virginia crafts and food, sits right off the turnpike, and New River Gorge National Park and Preserve is a short drive north.
For advertisers, that means building for residents and travelers separately. Resident demand — dentists, HVAC, auto repair, attorneys — is steady and draws from a wide rural area, so targeting by county and drive time beats a city radius. Traveler demand comes from the interstates and from people planning trips weeks ahead in Charlotte, Columbus, Pittsburgh or Washington; it peaks with summer rafting and fall foliage. Restaurants, hotels and outfitters should run a planning campaign aimed at feeder metros and an in-market campaign for people already on I-64 and I-77, each with its own budget.

Agency-wide results and the stories that go with them. Beckley campaigns borrow the same methods, split between a resident audience and a traveling one.
