Challenge

Dubai sought to expand on their reputation as a leading destination for business, commerce and events, specifically targeting those who had never been to Dubai and those who had only ever used Dubai as a stopover.

Solution

Utilizing the reach of the CNN platforms, a series of ten videos were produced, highlighting Dubai’s broad culture using their trademark cinematic storytelling to inspire.

Results

The campaign generated additional PR in several publications, such as Dubai InformerArabian Business, and Sport 360. Focusing on specific target markets and utilising CNN’s segmented audience data, it was able to specifically target videos, ensuring 97% of views were from one of the target audiences and 43% were from the target audience ‘never been to Dubai’.

Our advanced data capabilities were leveraged in order to implement a 4-part audience-segment that targeted those that had never visited Dubai, CNN travel followers, individuals who used Dubai as a stopover and people who lived in the region. This allowed us to maximise our reach to our intended target audience.
