Case Study

How do you rebuild confidence in traveling to the United States? By taking a roadtrip to all 50 states and 5 territories to tell the stories of its people.

We created, United Stories, a tourism brand and marketing platform to increase visitation to the US from Brand USA’s priority international markets.

Brand awareness of the US has always been high so United Stories had to focus on increasing intent to visit & conversion, whilst improving brand perception.

United Stories also had to represent the hugely diverse range of tourism products available in the United States and satisfy the needs of over 900 public and private sector partners from state & city tourism boards to global hotel chains, airlines, attractions, national parks and media partners.

Expanding the notion of the great American road trip, we told the story of US travel through the lens of its diverse people, cultures & geography. We shot cinematic hero films that won awards across the world, never been seen viral videos that drove millions of views online and activated branded modes of transport that garnered international press & recognition.

Brand USA is the destination marketing organization charged with bringing international visitors to the United States in order to fuel the US economy, generate jobs and enhance the image of the United States on the world stage.

Supported by an innovative public/private partnership that commits at least $200 million USD in funding each year, the organization represents the interests of ALL tourism & hospitality stakeholders and their communities in the United States.

According to Oxford Economics, in the last 5 years alone Brand USA’s marketing initiatives have helped welcome over 6.6 million incremental visitors to the United States, had $21.8 billion USD in economic impact and generated 52,000 incremental jobs a year.
