Celebrities and wannabes. That’s what Southern Idaho families thought of Sun Valley Resort, a critical demographic that makes up the majority of the drive-to market. They didn’t feel welcome or believe that the resort offered family-friendly activities. This initiative fixed that by visually highlighting the depth & breadth of stuff to do and by using a decidedly un-stuck-up tone. The integrated brand/retail campaign drove traffic to a design-your-own vacation package microsite “mySVfun.com,” which in turn lead to a significant increase in bookings, extended stays, event sales and the most profitable summer in 20 years.
Agency: Noot Group. Creative Team: Liz Brown, Ray Fesenmaier.
