Best brochure
gold Standard G Adventures Earth 2012 G Adventures
When Gap Adventures rebranded as G Adventures, its principal brochure needed to feature the companys product offering while ensuring that agents and customers alike understood and embraced the new name and brand ethos. Earth was redesigned to emphasise the traveller experience via the Youll Never Forget It tagline. The magazine-style brochure provided holiday details while reflecting the brand values through content that encouraged readers to step away from all-inclusive resorts and bus tours to look at travel in a different way. It featured trip pages that helped agents easily identify experiences, with a call to action that invited readers to share their Youll Never Forget It Moment on a dedicated microsite. Earth helped generate the highest sales figures in G Adventures history, with customer numbers rising by 19% and revenues increasing by 22%.

Thomsons radio campaign reignited consumer interest in the brand and package holidays at a time when consumers can book hotels, transfers and flights themselves. The radio campaign centred on quality time while on holiday rather than sales messages. Combining an emotional push with rational reasons to purchase, it focussed on stress and worry-free elements as well as the organisational benefits of a package travel company. Key elements of the Thomson offering were tailored to different UK regions, and a national promotion on the Absolute Radio Breakfast Show also pushed product points. The balance of rational and emotional messages in the radio campaign exceeded all expectations, with the perception that Thomson offer holidays which meet your needs positioning the brand as market leader.
