    Background

    • Big Insight - Strategy Before Tactics
    • 2007 - 2017 Tourists visiting Australia was up 11% BUT
    • The increase of Americans visiting was much smaller - up 1.3%
    • The big challenge was the barriers to travel relative to the competition
    • Australia has high levels of awareness & a desire to visit
    • But the big problem was intention
    • Relative to the UK, France, and Italy Americans had ½ of the intention to visit down under

    Barriers include

    • High travel costs
    • Length of flight
    • Not enough time to travel

    Campaign Strategy

    • Communication Objective: Increase traveller intention
    • Business Objective: Grow US Spend from $3.7B to $6b by 2020
    • Target: High Value Traveller (higher spend & frequency)
    • Positioning - A beautiful place to meet refreshingly irreverent people

    Campaign

    • Looked like a paid parntership for a new movie Son of Dundee movie trailer release in 2018 with Danny McBride
    • Superbowl release trailer #2 with Danny & Chris Hemsworth
    • Started promotions characters & partners like Quantas Airline videos addressing many of the questions preventing Americans from travelling

    Results

    • Most viewed ad in the Superbowl
    • Won a gold Effie
    • Intention increased by 83%
    • 13% increase in bookings from American tourists 1 year in
