2. Supporting the creative idea behind
Eurostar’s Little Break, Big Difference campaign

3. Bringing the concept to life by creating online
word of mouth that inspires people to take
a little break that makes a big difference

4. To activate it, we outreached to influential UK

hosted over the summer in Paris, Brussels and Lille

5. We started by taking fashion bloggers
on a little fashion break to Paris

over 110,000 readers, with over 180 comments

6. We then took art and design bloggers
on a little art break to Brussels

to Brussels writing 10 blog posts that reached over
50,000 readers, with over 35 comments

7. We then took music bloggers to a little music
break at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris

8. And we invited food bloggers
on a little food break to Lille

over 95,000 readers, with over 100 comments

9. “I’ve paid £60 to go to Somerset in the past (a 2 hour journey),
and I am booking one to France soon for £59. I like the appeal
of the day trip, honestly. I really enjoyed it”(http://eatlikeagirl.com)
“It is incredible how much you can do and
how big difference one day break can
make. I will be definitely taking more short
breaks like this from now on.”

Lille can
cost as
low as
£55 in
Standard
class!
“I love the Eurostar, and will definitelyhave to consider more trips based onhow long it took you to get to Lille - Ikind of forgot how fast it goes.”(http://worldfoodieguide.com)
“I am keen to go back and do a night so I
can have a nice dinner. I think it would be
a perfect break from London”
(http://worldfoodieguide.com)
“All in all, it was a fantastic trip, Lille
is a charming little getaway and I
would go back again to try some of
the bistros I came across.”

10. We also created a conversation platform to provide
people with ideas for their own little breaks

11. Where we amplified the word of mouth
generated by the trips

12. And highlighted upcoming events and latest reviews

13. We used both a Twitter account and a Facebook page
to encourage conversation around taking a little break

14. Resulting in 1,000’s of Twitter and Facebook
conversations with @little_break

15. And interestingly people are now starting
to refer to their short trips as a #littlebreak
we are social

16. In total, over 1 million people have been exposed
to the word of mouth we generated about
Little Break, Big Difference in social media
