In addition to this, South Africans do not associate value and meaning to domestic travel experiences and therefore do not invest. There is need for a culture adjustment in the five market segments, causing consumers to re-prioritise travel. The new campaign addresses this requirement by igniting a spark that culminates in a ‘movement’ that identifies with domestic travel benefits. Slide no. 23 Revamped Domestic Campaign • • A comprehensive campaign audit was performed on the last three Domestic campaigns. The new revamped Domestic Tourism campaign extracts all the key learning’s from the previous campaigns. • • In reviewing the challenge with the Shot’ Left campaign it was recognized that the shortfall of the target market did not address the large potential of the market. In the case of the Vaya Mzansi campaign, it was apparent that it evoked national pride amongst South Africans, using magnificent imagery that covered all corners of the country. Although it was a beautifully produced campaign, the call to action was minimal. In the revamped Domestic Tourism revamped campaign, the market segmentation has been aligned to the Vaya Mzansi (from LSM 1 to 10) with the inclusion of the “Young at Heart” who are over 50 plus, with greater disposable income. This Domestic Tourism campaign also focuses on shifting behaviour to create a culture of travel that has not previously been achieved. Slide no. 24 1st Phase - Inter-City and Provincial Rivalry (3 months) • • • The new Domestic Tourism initiates a spark of engagement, generating ‘healthy banter’ between the cities and provinces by creating a competitive interaction that challenges the rest of South Africa with the statement “Nothings More Fun than a Shot’ Left from ….” This is a fully integrated, sustainable, unconventional, unexpected, entertaining and delightful campaign. It focuses on improving short-term trips like a weekend away. Leveraging of the equity built on Shot’Left, the creative device is “Nothing is more Fun than …” The new campaign brings to life the innate benefits of short breaks, road trips with friends or quick getaway trips from the city, a Shot’Left. • The campaign uses travel ambassadors that personify fun. • The look and feel will be colourful, energetic and dynamic. • A 360-degree, through-the-line media campaign will broadcast targeted messaging such as “THERE IS NOTHING MORE FUN THAN A SHOT’ LEFT from JOZI”. Slide no. 26 2nd Phase – Post Rivalry • This phase is characterised by a fully integrated campaign on television commercials, radio, digital media and print (e.g. catalogues into newspapers). This will be deal driven campaign with flexibility pricing and offering. Collateral will also be distributed around events such as Fashion Week. Provincial Alignment - SPARK will promote intra-Provincial travel. • Concurrently to the rivalry phase that is sparked, the Provinces are assisted with ‘templates’ of the marketing collateral to add their own creative statement. SPARK will promote intra-Provincial travel. Chapters of the campaign will focus on promoting attributes that are unique for each Province. The Provincial campaign will provoke that “Nothing is More Fun than a Shot’Left in Limpopo” (for example). A road trip is being used to showcase various modes of transportation across the country (bus, train, taxi, etc). Alignment of strategies to this campaign e.g. aligning the Gauteng Tourism Authority’s GP to the JOZI’s campaign. Most Province and Cities are already having strategy around trade partners – but alignment will add impetus to the campaign Use of DJs with a regional appeal was suggested.
