## **Strategy and execution**

We leaned into country pride and common Canadian values, like hospitality and support for each other, a shared sense of belonging. We also layered in Kingston’s convenient location and its national significance—close to home with iconic landmarks and classic Canadiana culture.

It’s more than a campaign slogan. It’s data-informed and emotion-driven. It’s an invitation to experience Kingston as a local and a Canadian. Not as a tourist. And it’s flexible, adaptive to different themes and messages based on traveller groups and their primary interests.

- Media strategy blended traditional and digital, with geo and behavioural targeting plus digital retargeting linked to OOH
- Targeted media placements spanned Ontario and Québec, including Toronto, Ottawa, and Montréal
- From static to motion, each creative execution reinforced the warmth of Kingston’s character and its role as a cultural cornerstone
- Every asset pointed to Tourism Kingston’s brand campaign landing page, where messaging and design were aligned for consistency
- To ease financial concerns and incentivize bookings, travellers were offered a VISA gift card of up to $200 with select stay packages
