Mission: SPACE

After a dramatic 3-year slide in attendance, Epcot set out to reverse the trend by putting a major effort behind the launch of its newest ride: Mission: SPACE. Not only did the campaign increase year-over-year attendance by +19%, it exceeded its incremental attendance goal (guests who visited Epcot specifically to ride this attraction), by +21%. key to its success was the campaign's ability to attract Walt Disney World's core family audience back to Epcot. Mission:SPACE had become the most successful attraction launch in Walt Disney world history.

Introducing the Roaming Gnome

How do you launch a new brand icon in 30 days and make him work hard immediately? Inspired by the growing phenomenon of garden gnome napping. Travelocity's future brand icon, the Roaming Gnome, was introduced through a guerilla teaser campaign built on the idea of helping Bill (the gnome's former owner) get his gnome back. The effort created a significant buzz for the new campaign with 1,554,000 microsite hits, 3,180 e-mails, 25,285 voicemails and significant press coverage. And after Travelocity's connection to the campaign was unveiled, brand momentum increased and site visits exceeded goals.
