Laura Edmonson, a diversity and inclusion educator and sustainability advocate, curated Sonos’ Great Smokey Mountains playlist.
In collaboration with the forest (alongside partner curators like Emma Lovewell and Joe Holder) the Sonos Wild Tracks campaign has launched. Because certain destinations feature an unmatched splendor that merits a soundtrack of its own according to Sonos, Wild Tracks gives outdoor adventures in some of America’s most beloved natural parks their own soundtracks with 11 curated playlists provided by the company.
“We know from our own research that listening to music and spending time outdoors are the top two activities people use to relax. With our thoughtfully-curated Wild Tracks playlists, consumers can truly immerse themselves in their natural surroundings and be transported wherever they choose to embrace the great outdoors,” says Nicole Gullaci, director of Americas marketing, Sonos.
