During my tenure at TourGenie, I assisted in shaping its social media identity. The brand's theme revolves around a vibrant orange and white color palette, a visual consistency we meticulously maintained. The brand's voice and tone adopted a friendly, informal style to create a relatable connection with the audience.

Every post underwent a detailed content creation process, where the team ensured captivating captions and sourced visually stunning imagery. Audience interaction was a priority, with active engagement in comments and interactive content fostering a sense of community. Beyond merely selling tour packages, the platform served as an informative space, sharing interesting facts about destinations.

01 — Local For Local Campaign Overview

This marketing campaign aimed to reignite local tourism post-COVID lockdowns by encouraging residents to explore their own state while actively supporting local tourist-dependent businesses. The primary objective was to evoke empathy within the target audience, emphasizing the challenges faced by local businesses due to the absence of tourists from outside the state during the pandemic.

02 — Creative process

Target Audience:

Recognizing the importance of strategically identifying the target demographic, I proposed focusing on the younger crowd. This group, known for being less apprehensive about COVID and highly active on social media platforms, was deemed ideal for our campaign.

Social Media Engagement:

Leveraging the popularity of social media among the chosen demographic, we strategically crafted our campaign to maximize engagement on platforms like Instagram and Facebook. This included visually appealing content, compelling storytelling, and user-generated content.

A compelling post urging locals to explore nearby farms.
A post offering a detailed content on Buddha Park's serene beauty with a CTA for bookings.
Content encouraging the locals to book a trekking trip from TourGenie.
Urged the audience to support local communities by booking stays at charming homestays through TourGenie,
