Find Yours

Fifteen years after inventing online travel, Expedia was the undisputed category leader. But that lead was in jeopardy. The category had become commoditized and price-driven. In addition to a shrinking SOV, Expedias media spend was decreasing. To preserve its leadership position, Expedia had to differentiate. We set out to make travel personal again, to acknowledge that travel is about more than changing places; its about finding the things that change you. With find yours, Expedia not only maintained its leadership, site traffic and revenue grew beyond expectations.s.

Many Happy Returners

Aruba, the second most tourism-dependent country in the world, sought to reverse a trend of back-to-back years of declining visitation from its most important market, the US. The valuable resource they had been overlooking was the Caribbeans largest community of loyalists who could speak to the islands assets as well as anyone. We placed these Happy Returners front and center in the campaign, introducing newcomers to Aruba through their eyes. The campaign helped us to nearly double our goal of 2.5% growth in tourism arrivals, year-over-year, with the category down.
