Using digital channels to increase the exposure and prominence of the county and unlock new audiences.
Visit Suffolk works alongside Destination Management Organisations (DMOs) throughout the county to support tourism development and engagement with local businesses. The value of tourism in Suffolk is a staggering £2 billion. The brief for this campaign was to challenge perceptions of the county and promote points of interest that new visitors would not necessarily immediately associate with Suffolk.
We developed a campaign that would promote Suffolk’s cultural and sporting strengths and showcase the exceptional experience on offer for both new and returning visitors within a two-hour drive time.
‘Unexpected Suffolk’ became the proposition used consistently across all digital channels
New ‘untapped’ audiences were reached through digital channels including; Google Display Network, Instagram, Facebook and Search. The spend allocation was ever evolving based on performance, so it was a truly reactive campaign.
Engagement tactics including competitions, live photos, reaction-based posts, user-generated content (UGC) and embeddable landing page widgets resulted in increased brand awareness for Visit Suffolk, new website visits to both the Visit Suffolk website and the sites for the individual DMOs (Bury, Newmarket, Suffolk Coast & Ipswich), enhanced engagement on Visit Suffolk’s social media platforms and the further development of the Visit Suffolk email database.
