Visit Philly - ‘We Got You’
The Challenge
After spending time researching various tourism marketing opportunities, Visit Philadelphia tapped Skai Blue Media to identify and activate local agency to lead the campaign’s creative and lite digital strategy. Palette Group and Skai Blue Media teamed up to regionally target and activate the growing African American travel market.
The Tactics
Using Visit Philadelphia’s “With Love, Philadelphia XOXO” campaign as our foundation we ideated a new campaign positioning for our target audience. We developed “, We Got You” as the campaign Northstar, and p//g produced a series of photo shoots and wrote lines of copy, alongside the Skai Blue Media team. New York-based production team, Ficitonless executed the 5-series episode series featuring: Black Thought, Luvvie Ajayi, Tai Beauchamp, Rakia Reynolds, Dustin Ross, Vanessa Simmons, and Cory Townes.
