• Liaise with tourism partners to ensure the promotion of the Slow Adventure packages through their channels
• Inform service providers in Northern Ireland of the slow adventure concept

 

The Results

• The campaign website received a total of 3,583 absolute unique visits during the campaign period (9.5 weeks) with more of these visits coming from Dublin and London than from Belfast
• £321,000 of Equivalent Advertising Value was secured through media coverage

 

Testimonial

“Outdoor Recreation NI’s marketing campaign generated a huge amount of awareness of the new slow adventure packages in Northern Ireland, which has given them a fantastic building block for future promotion. The council and the SME’s behind each of the packages really valued their expertise and professionalism in managing the campaign and undoubtedly their media contacts in the adventure industry meant this brand new adventure concept was introduced to many adventure enthusiasts inside and outside Northern Ireland”
