About the Work
The goal of this campaign was to leverage Westchester County Tourism & Film’s Instagram page and website to showcase Westchester as a destination beyond the everyday. Five content marketing initiatives were activated, including a range of content pieces leading up to the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show; a series of stories featuring 16 county businesses to share first-person accounts about Westchester dining, arts, entertainment, outdoors, and history; travel routes themed around an interest or type of traveler; a series of Instagram reels that offered a snapshot of the county’s communities; and an influencer marketing initiative to promote the fall travel experience. Year-over-year, the Westchester County Tourism’s Instagram channel grew 75% in engagements, 85% in profile actions, and 54% in net followers.
