OOH Marketing campaign to spread awareness about the experiences ITAC has partnered with across Canada.

A modern city bus with vibrant, geometric designs and colorful advertisements moves swiftly along an urban street, set against a backdrop of blurred trees and skyscrapers, promoting "The Original Original Way."

Opportunity:

Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada wanted to create a campaign to boost awareness of all the different Tourism partners they work with across Canada.

Approach:

To achieve this, they chose to utilize public transportation to get their awareness to a larger scale audience. The plan was to have bus and train wraps in the big cities across Canada (Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Regina, Winnipeg, Halifax, Toronto, and Nunavut).

A modern, articulated green and grey trolleybus displayed in a studio setting, featuring vibrant landscape and abstract graphic designs on its sides, with two overhead power poles extending from the roof.

Execution:

The solution then was to showcase the region specific tourism partners throughout the design, indicating what the experience was and where people can go to visit the experience. I then utilized the existing branding of ITAC to put together transit wraps that were different in each city and utilized the different gradients and icons. Then upon entering the bus/train, it was paired with posters and upper bus signage to drive more action on where to get more info.

Results

The end result was eye catching bright design of icons and gradients that also showcased the different images of the experiences across the entire bus wrap. This ultimately increased engagement for the many different parters that ITAC partners with across Canada and successfully brought engagement with their brand up by 44% during the period the wraps were live.
