Great Idaho Getaway Project

The Great Idaho Getaway
Integrated Multimedia Campaign

The Great Idaho Getaway Project was developed to create an engaging on-line brand experience. Following the adage of “show, don’t tell” this campaign set out to prove that to really understand Idaho’s adventure possibilities, you have to go there.

A Seattle family with one over-worked Dad was chosen to go on a immersive real-life digital film adventure. We quickly snatched dad and the family out of the daily grind and whisked them on a plane to Idaho for 10 days of adventure. Followed by a 25 person crew with six cameras, we captured all the adventure, fun, scenic wonder, top-notch dining, and luxury accommodations they could fit into the ten-day trip.

The 55-plus hours of footage was edited down to a 30 minute feature with 3 short bonus videos. A break-though website was developed that brings together both worlds of rich, engaging technology with a user experience that brings Idaho to life. Web site visitors can watch the film, check out the bonus footage, follow the family’s route, get ideas for their own adventure, and even book a trip of their own.

The fully-integrated push for the Great Idaho Getaway Project blends social media, online marketing, search-engine marketing (SEM), public relations, and print advertising.  The Campaign was featured as the Communication Arts Webpick of the Day and has won numerous awards including Rockie Award for Best Campaign, Regional Addy Awards, and an ESTO Mercury Award.
