Introduction

Switzerland Tourism (ST) is the national marketing and sales organization for Switzerland, tasked with promoting domestic and international tourism demand to the country. An important part of its activity is based on communication campaigns aimed at stimulating interest and showcasing Switzerland as a tourist attraction, through diverse experiences that stand for quality, modernity, and authenticity. 

The Challenge

After a slow period due to the global health crisis, ST resumed its promotional efforts in order to relaunch its tourism activity. As a long-standing partner of Outbrain, ST’s objective for this “comeback” campaign was clear: boost the awareness and visibility of Swiss tourism.

The Solution

For its campaign, ST leveraged Outbrain’s High-Impact Display — an exclusive, brand-safe format placed in-article for 100% share of voice and maximum visibility. The tourism brand also teamed up with world-renowned Swiss personalities, such as Roger Federer and Mike Horn, for its witty campaign about Switzerland’s must-see attractions. The campaign KPIs were a minimum viewability rate of 70% and a CPM below 5€.
