Task

To build top-of-mind awareness for California as a premier travel destination, drive extensive reach and engagement, trigger active travel consideration, and direct qualified traffic to VisitCalifornia.com.

Solution

We crafted a comprehensive content strategy featuring three photo essays, three video listicles, and a new section on the campaign hub titled "California Playground." Distribution channels included six newsletter inclusions, one dedicated newsletter, and multiple social media engagements across Meta platforms, including Instant Experiences and Instagram Stories. Strategic media initiatives such as the "Childhood Rules" display carousel and 100% share-of-voice (SOV) on content rounded out our approach.
