Ipswich's recent tourism success has come from thinking differently, researching our audience and challenging conventional marketing. Our goal — increase Domestic Overnight Visitation. Our Google Trekker 'Human Wanted' campaign embraced new technology and aligned with Australia's #1 website — Google Maps — usually applied to National Parks but we became the first region in the Southern Hemisphere to map our visitor precincts, walks and highlights. The journey to create this new visitor resource became a narrative for online audiences to maintain their interest over a year, build awareness, market the destination and reap free media coverage in the process.
