23. Challenge:
Increase Twitter + Facebook followers for
Germany National Tourism Office (GNTO).
Insight:
Using social listening tools Fuseideas
discovered that GNTO was perceived as an
expensive getaway location geared toward an
older traveller.
Solution:
Fuseideas developed a 4-week ambassador
contest which led to the selection of two 20-
something ambassadors who traveled
throughout Germany on theme-specific trips,
creating and sharing content along the way.
They created content that was used by GNTO
in a variety of ways over the next few months
and saw their highest Instagram engagement
ever.
