The Brief
Idea:
GTI developed and implemented New Caledonia’s “Have It All” campaign, with the help of Masterchef contestant and Australian-French TV/cooking personality Justine Schofield, as the destination Ambassador to communicate about the new flight from Melbourne, engage the Australian audience and trade professionals, provide a PR angle and to create bespoke, consumer-friendly destination content for digital and partner channels.
Starting with a qualitative and quantitative study, a bespoke microsite www.haveitall.com.au was created including new content about the destination, wholesaler package deals and a competition for Australians to win a trip to New Caledonia. Traffic was driven to the microsite through a multimedia campaign including digital, billboard, and radio.
