New campaign of Ticino Turismo welcomes back the guests
Ticino Turismo's multi-stage campaign, designed by Zimmermann Communications, is entering its third phase. Now Ticino tells its guests #benvenuti - Discover the exotic world in Ticino now.
After the urgent call in March this year to stay at home and not to go to Ticino even over the holidays, at the beginning of May, after the first relaxations became known, the #seeyousoon campaign was launched to inspire and plan the next visit and vacation in Ticino.
Now, after the latest relaxations at the beginning of June, the time has finally come: mountain railroads, camping, hotels, museums, restaurants and much more is open again.
In its latest campaign, Ticino shows that it has more to offer than just being Switzerland's sunshine capital. Hawaii, Rio, Bermuda, Bali, Mexico, Oman, Down Under, the Highlands or the Napa Valley are all located in Ticino. So there's no reason to travel far abroad when exoticism is so close by.
For user involvement, the agency has designed a postcard creator that converts the subjects of the poster campaign into postcards and with which you can send your friends postcards from Hawaii, Bermuda, Mexico - or Ticino, respectively - via Whatsapp, e-mail or Facebook.
The agency implemented this idea in a cross-media campaign with a broad mix of measures. The basis is again a film that begins with what signals the start of every Ticino vacation: the exit from the tunnel and the view of Mediterranean nature. The film is complemented by a broad-based poster campaign that uses eight subjects to show that you don't have to travel abroad to experience the exotic.
This mix of measures is supplemented by a performance campaign aimed at specific target groups with the aim of directly triggering bookings by means of target-group-specific offers.
All measures link to the landing page Ticino.ch/benvenuti, which picks up on the subjects and themes of the exotic campaign and where interested guests can find 20 percent offers on selected hotels as well as special packages and a variety of inspiring ideas for their stay in Ticino.
For Manuela Nicoletti, Marketing Director of Ticino Turismo, the aim of this broad campaign is to implement the uniqueness of Ticino in such a way that both people who have already been to Ticino several times and new guests feel addressed and motivated to visit Ticino and book their next stay. True to the motto: #benvenuti - discover the exotic world in Ticino.
The campaign runs in German and French-speaking Switzerland, on TV, social and digital media, and is supported with posters and PR.
