Ottawa Tourism

The Business Problem: Ottawa is not only the capital of Canada, but also a picturesque tourism destination. However, newcomers prefer other “Instagrammable” locations, such as Niagara Falls, Blue Mountain & Montreal.

Target Audience: Immigrants to Canada, both acculturated (3-5 years in Canada) and newcomers (0-2 years in Canada); Residing in the GTA.

The Ask: Drive awareness about Ottawa amongst ethnic groups in Ontario for the winter season.

Insight: Immigrants have an inherent urge to showcase their ‘Sense of Canadian Pride.’ They want to be recognised as ‘More Canadian’ faster.

The Strategy: Create an emotional campaign that brings in nationalistic pride through a destination pull.

The Solution: Showcase Ottawa as an embodiment of the country itself. And, there’s no better place than Ottawa to begin an immigrant’s journey of discovery in his new home.
