🎨 "(Great technology is....) allowing brilliant⚡ solutions to unsolvable problems to be built anywhere, by anyone. Is AI🤖 coming for our jobs? Yes. But in the large part, it’s the tedious, humdrum🪘 ones we hated to do anyway. ...It's freeing us up to craft, create and concoct new ways to use media. We can rage against the machine🎰, or we can rage with it.
So, what’s the problem? We in media are not getting the memo📝. The way we plan and buy advertising space. It’s unbelievably beige."

“I wouldn’t come here, to be honest. I mean, is it even a city?”
In the wake of the pandemic, destination marketing campaigns (especially out Scandinavia) have upped their game creatively - perhaps they have had to just to compete for visitors and beat the emerging trend of 'untourism' (thanks to Raquel Chicourel for introducing me to that term.) 🌏
VisitOSLO is the latest to produce a humour-led campaign that is self-aware while selling itself as a destination to the world. It follows work from Visit Sweden, Business Iceland and Tourism Australia among others that have garnered media attention for different reasons. 😂
"Destination marketing has been quite boring, to be honest. It's been full of white sand beaches, palm trees, and pina coladas or whatever and we wanted to change the stereotype on how tourist market can be done," outlines Nils Persson, CMO of Visit Sweden.
Is this a strategy that is likely to spread further across the world and is it one that could work for VisitBritain and VisitEngland as it looks for a new agency to lead brand awareness?
Thanks also to Jae Hopkins, Anne-Signe Fagereng, Owen Lee and Laurent Simon for their thoughts as well.
