Hampton Lumber Launches Paper-Azzi Campaign
Hampton Lumber has excitedly announced the launch of its Paper-Azzi Campaign, a fun and interactive initiative designed to raise awareness about the diverse uses and extensive reach of wood products grown and manufactured in the Pacific Northwest.
The campaign invites the public to spot Hampton Lumber wrap or products in transit, lumberyards, home improvement projects, or on job sites and share their photos on social media with the hashtag #HamptonLumberJourney. Each post counts as an entry to win exclusive Hampton Lumber merchandise and other great prizes. Hampton Lumber will feature submitted photos on its website and social media channels.
Hampton operates six sawmills in the Pacific Northwest in the communities of Warrenton, Ore.; Willamina, Ore.; Tillamook, Ore.; Randle, Wash.; Morton, Wash., and Darrington, Wash. Most lumber manufactured by Hampton’s U.S. sawmills features wrap designed by high school students from the communities where Hampton operates so it’s often easy to pinpoint where the wood was grown and processed. Hampton also manufactures and markets lumber from three sawmills in British Columbia; Babine Forest Products, Decker Lake Forest Products, and Fort St. James Forest Products.
