The Brief

  • Drive enquiries to wholesale partners that can convert interest into bookings

GTI engaged five digital influencers to experience Kenya first-hand and produce new and compelling content (images, video and editorial) to share with their online audiences. Each of the five influencers were paired with an African wholesaler and allocated one of KTB’s key themes, which would be the focus of their itinerary and content.

These themes included:

  • wildlife
  • luxury
  • culture
  • conservation
  • adventure.

They were briefed to upload their content using the #WhyILoveKenya hashtag and @MagicalKenya handle.

In phase two, a dedicated microsite was created including the influencers’ content, information on Kenya, wholesaler package deals and a competition for Australians to win the trip of a lifetime to Kenya. Traffic was driven to the microsite through a digital media spend, eDMs and promotion from campaign partners Canon and Qatar Airways. Re-targeted advertising was also conducted during the campaign that drove consumers directly to the wholesaler’s website to convert interest into bookings.
