The Brief #VegasNotVegas
The #VegasNotVegas digital campaign was conceptualised to contrast people’s dull daily reality versus the more magical and memorable Vegas daily reality.
Over 3 weeks in August 2015, LVCVA, in partnership with travel retailer iTravel, ran a social media campaign where people shared their day-to-day “not Vegas” experiences using the hashtag… #VegasNOTVegas.
Each week had a different theme:
WEEK 1: Show us your NOTVegas lunch#VegasNOTVegas
WEEK 2: Show us your NOTVegas ride#VegasNOTVegas
Each week the most creative #VegasNOTVegas most engageing entry won a prize trip to Las Vegas.
A social influencer was also sent to Las Vegas (prior to campaign launch) to experience her own Vegas moments and promote the different weekly themes. Consumers were led to a campaign microsite to enter and the microsite featured a running stream of #VegasNOTVegas posts (entries).
iTravel was the call to action and competition partner and Las Vegas packages were promoted on the campaign microsite and in social posts.
The campaign was promoted by a Facebook media spend, and email newsletters.
