Case Study
Summary
How do you get on holiday wish-lists when people think you are too far, too big, too expensive and just too difficult?
Our solution: to prove “value for holiday”, make the state stand for something and to dramatise this in an extraordinary way.
We went on an epic journey around WA showcasing the unique experiences the state has to offer, in an international symbol of travel, a taxi, driven by an authentic WA cabbie.
It worked. Despite the GFC and a strong Aussie dollar the campaign delivered 20% uplift in bookings, 13:1 ROI and contributed $73 million to WA’s economy
