Generating international coverage for Visit Hampshire's JaneAusten200 campaign

Le dossier

2017 marked the 200th anniversary of the death of Jane Austen. We worked closely alongside Visit Hampshire, VisitBritain and VisitEngland to ensure this was a key news story for the world’s media.

Notre solution

Comprehensive press trip programme including working with VisitBritain on a ‘long and short haul’ press visit involving representatives from Japan, Russia, China, the US, Canada and Norway, as well as teaming up with VisitEngland to host some of the UK’s largest influencers as part of a group press trip.

Ce qu'ils ont dit
