Wild Atlantic WayRATIONALE Reaching our target audience in a direct and precise way was key for this campaign’s success. Irish-American Millennials, which make up our 20-30 year old target market, are cash and time strapped. Those who are lucky enough to have full time jobs typically only benefit from roughly two weeks vacation time per year. And while wages may be low, this market is not willing to compromise on fun. Our target audience is looking for more from a vacation. They don’t want just sightseeing, or a tour of their ancestral land, or a beach, or a cool urban break, they want it all. They want the most bang for their buck. And they want it in a convenient package. Luckily, Ireland offers it all, and we knew that if we could just communicate this to our target audience, they would gladly spend the money on the experiences Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way can offer.
In today’s world, the main way to share experiences and holidays is through real time posts on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. Photography has always functioned as a way to share experiences, but now, with a wide array of filters and lenses on everyone’s smart phone, everyone is an expert and every expert experience can be instantly shared. We decided to take cues from Instagram-style photography in our print and TV/ YouTube executions.
While researching how our target uses these platforms, we stumbled upon an interesting habit of many Millennials to photograph their feet, their legs, their hands, and basically every part of themselves except their face as they experience new things. These photos are seen as artsy rather than self indulgent, while still saying “I was here.” The trend has made its way from first-adopting hipsters to now being so common it is used in mainstream wedding photography. We decided to run with this trend and show the journey of a traveler’s feet as they experience the Wild Atlantic Way. Our print also features this same style.
Given this same insight that our target audience lives in a digital world, it was an obvious move to make digital a priority in this campaign. Our TV spots function as teaser for a YouTube release. All traditional media builds to an Instagram and Twitter treasure hunt for tickets to a promotional concert.

Wild Atlantic WayDIGITALFor the digital activation of this campaign we are promoting the Wild Atlantic Way by organizing a concert and Irish Craft beer fesitval in key locations across the United states, which include: Austin, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Nashville and New York. These locations where strategically chosen for their high Irish-American polulations.
The Strypes, a young Irish band, will be headlining the concert. This band was also strategically selected for their recent media spotlight in the United States (they played at SXSW and were featured on the David Letterman’s show) and for their large Twitter following (40k followers).
Free tickets to the concert will be scattered throughout each city in the week leading up to the event in secret locations. Locations will be revealed through Twitter and Instagram, featuring photographic clues that will hint at each ticket location. The first people to arrive at the location and find the bundle of tickets get to attend the concert and festival night.
A limited number of tickets will also be on sale at the doors the night of the concert to cover all expenses.
On the night of the festival, names of attendees will be put into a draw for a round-trip to Ireland with a free car rental to travel the Wild Atlantic Way.
