Spies Travel wanted to inform the Danish people that they offer city holidays, and sell more holidays to these destinations.
Describe how the promotion developed from concept to implementation
We piggybacked a topical issue of the country’s 27-year-low birthrate, and used the insight that Danes have 46% more sex on city holidays to come with a solution to the population issue. Our logic was that city holidays lead to more romance, romance leads to more sex and more sex leads to more children. Therefore Spies Travel could play an active role in solving Denmark’s problem. Spies Travels hoped to increase their sales to city destinations by 5% through the promotion.
