What we did

Video, social media and content

The brief

Leederville Food Safari was dinner on the move: three courses, with rickshaw drivers taking guests between them through Leederville’s street art and hidden corners. It wanted to be a must-do, and to reach a new and bigger crowd.

The work

We positioned the safari as a tourism product, not just a dinner. Working with Tourism WA, we made sure it featured in one of the first eight videos of the Just Another Day In WA campaign.

Social ran on photos and video that made people hungry, and well-known Perth food creators came along and shared it with their own followers.

The result

From July 2014 to July 2016, Facebook likes grew from 1,220 to 4,485 and Instagram followers from 572 to 3,685. The email list went from zero to 462 subscribers in the first year.

The takeaway

An experience becomes a tourism product when it is packaged, pictured and placed where visitors already look.
