You’ve seen us on TV, now ‘come and make your own memories’. That’s the message VisitBritain will take overseas, as it uses the end of London 2012 Games to launch the next stage of the multi-million pound Great campaign and sets its sights on Britain breaking visitor records.
To capitalise on the increased global interest in Britain, a major marketing push has gone live with airlines, hotel companies and tour operators offering fantastic deals to ensure that, having watched the best of Britain on their screens, overseas travellers decide to experience the real thing for themselves.
The latest phase of the marketing campaign includes print advertising, advertorials and the release of a new TV ad, ‘Memories are GREAT’, which includes stunning imagery from the Olympic Opening Ceremony, positioned on leading consumer websites across the world.
To help capture the youth market VisitBritain has partnered with STA Travel and is working within their retail outlets and University Campuses to promote Britain for music, culture and shopping.
