With a brief to raise awareness of the iVisa brand across English and Spanish speaking countries, we carried out research into trending travel topics, competitor backlink profiles and studied the travel news agenda to establish which topics were most likely to pick up the most links from our target media. We created a series of campaigns over the course of a year and shared this with the media to drive backlinks back to iVisa’s site.
We created a campaign listing the top 40 happiest cities in the world.
The research ranked each destination using five different indicators of happiness (the cost of living, the amount of sunshine, weekly working hours, average life expectancy and the friendliest locals) which proved Lisbon, Portugal was the overall happiest in the world.
All content was then translated and outreached to both English and Spanish speaking media outlets.
The campaign took on a life of its own! It was organically picked up and translated into 8 additional languages with links in top UK national news sites, Metro(DR 93) and Daily Express(DR 89). There are obvious benefits of a link in these titles. However, the sheer reach, volume and brand awareness is unmatched. For example, the Metro article has 34,200 estimated views. TimeOut .com has a domain ranking of 90, with an estimated 18.4 million visits to its site each month.
