SUMMER RELAUNCH
Tourism Whistler
THE CHALLENGE
Tourism Whistler’s mission for this multifaceted article campaign was to educate BC residents about the resort’s gradual reopening amid the COVID-19 pandemic and to ensure guests felt secure returning to enjoy the thrill of Whistler’s natural environment.
THE SOLUTION
Our team created a content series focused on discovering a new pace in Whistler, hosted on a dedicated Tourism Whistler content hub. Each article promoted the messaging of adventuring differently at the BC destination while informing our audience about the local businesses, stores, restaurants, activity providers, and hotels that had reopened in Whistler.
Special attention was paid to the inclusion of COVID-19 protocols and measures being implemented by individual businesses within the town. All articles wrapped with a CTA to visit the Whistler Doors Open Directory to learn more before travelling.
