#SimplePleasuresChester

The Covid-19 pandemic dramatically impacted the visitor economy, closing hospitality, retail and visitor attractions. In my role as Marketing Manager for the tourist board, I was responsible for the strategic approach to communications as travel restrictions were lifted. 

The brief

  • Provide Chester with a unique tone of voice and creative style

  • Deliver a campaign to support the recovery of domestic tourism and economic growth 

The Strategy and Rationale

  • Taking daily walks. Watching the cherry blossom blow past the window. Walking on the grass. Listening to the birds. Picnics with friends. To maintain well-being throughout the collective trauma that is lock-down, we’ve all become more grateful for the little things.

  • Chester’s recovery campaign asks everyone share the 'simple pleasures' we’ve all discovered or rediscovered during lock-down.


The Delivery

  • Initially, we targeted a hyper-local audience to build up a social media presence

  • Target UK households that have been subject to UK lock-down, looking to book a 'staycation'
