Ontario: a land among lakes

Ontario’s 250,000 lakes are as defining as the warm, open hospitality of its people, and each offers a plethora of unique activities to match the personality of every traveller. In this campaign, we want to highlight the connection between people and water in a fresh new way that captures the zeitgeist of current travel communication.

SOLUTION

In this campaign, a selection of Canadians who represent a diverse cross-section of Ontario’s lakes lend their voices to their chosen lake, symbolically personifying their connection. By matching a unique individual to a body of water, we’ll demonstrate how each lake holds its distinct personality and can attract kindred spirits who travel to them.

The custom content, including the video (90" & 15" cut-down), article, and gallery was hosted on National Geographic. Localized across both National Geographic France and Germany sites, the content was amplified across our global digital and social platforms—including an Instagram and Facebook dark post on the @natgeotravel account, and dark Instagram Story.
