If you’re searching for firearms industry marketing strategies that actually work—or looking for advertising solutions for hunting and shooting sports brands—this is for you. At Topple, we’re helping brands break free from Big Tech restrictions and unlock real performance, real tracking, and most importantly—real creative freedom.
At IWA Outdoor Classics 2025 in Nuremberg, our CEO Brian Aitken delivered a powerful Firearms Advertising MasterClass, showing exactly how brands can scale their campaigns with high-converting creative, full attribution, and access to the largest open-web network of gun-friendly publishers.
Firearms Marketing Strategies That Drive Results
From abandoned cart retargeting to precision sales attribution, Brian shared what’s working now in digital advertising for gun companies and hunting gear brands—and how Topple is helping them thrive.
A major theme of the MasterClass was the importance of creative that actually converts. Too many brands are forced to tiptoe around their products on legacy platforms—blurring barrels, avoiding certain keywords, or getting rejected entirely. With Topple, brands regain their voice.
Whether it’s the sharp, performance-driven display ads from Aero Precision, or bold, story-rich video ads from VIKTOS and Biofire, we’ve seen firsthand how great creative performs when it’s allowed to be honest and unapologetic. From belt-fed machine guns to smart gun tech, we believe your ads should show your product—not hide it.
Key takeaways from the session included:
How to advertise firearms online without relying on restricted platforms
Which marketing tactics convert browsers into buyers
How to retarget abandoned carts and maximize ROAS
Why Topple is the only self-serve firearms ad platform with programmatic access to top-tier publishers like GunBroker, AR15.com, Gun Digest, and dozens more
Whether you’re launching a new product or scaling an established brand, you can finally run smart, performance-driven ad campaigns that look as good as your product.
