Goal
The challenge of the This is Athens and Partners campaign was to influence travelers to change their perceptions about Athens and increase incoming tourism from Europe to Athens, placing it as a top-of-mind city break destination year-round. The strategy focused on the contemporary character of the city, promoting “things to do”, beyond visiting the Acropolis. TIAP sought to influence travellers through multiple channels, as well as prove the value of their ad spend.
Solution
Across the campaign, Sojern drove 11,000 visits to the website, influenced 143,000 trip searches, and confirmed 15,400 bookings to Athens. The video received 1.2M views with a 60% lower cost per view (CPV) versus what Sojern sees for comparable video campaigns. Display improved 58% from the start of the campaign. And with all three channels, This is Athens had a full-funnel marketing strategy.
