In late 2020 the Springfield Convention & Visitors Bureau came to us needing a statewide ad campaign that could show people how they could visit Springfield safely by taking advantage of all the outdoor adventures offered here. The success of that campaign brought about two new campaigns in the subsequent years.

The first was the “Give Yourself a Weekend” campaign which highlighted all the unique experiences Springfield has to offer and showed visitors how they could have a whole vacation’s worth of fun and adventure in a weekend.

We followed that with the “Ask a Local” campaign which centered around the idea that when traveling, the locals are the ones who know the city best and are in the know of all the best restaurants, outdoor activities, shops, and bars in town. In a friendly city like Springfield, Missouri, all you have to do is ask the locals to guide you from place to place.

With each campaign our objective was to break the mold of traditional travel and tourism advertising. We turned our focus from showing what there is to do in Springfield to showing how people feel and what their experience is like when they visit Springfield.

RESULTS

• 2021 Record Breaking Occupancy for Springfield

• Significant Increases in Occupancy Rates in Following Years

TESTIMONIAL

“ It was an easy decision to hire Revel to help us create a new campaign for inspiring people to visit the region. They took our vision and developed a campaign theme that captured the essence of the Springfield area and was true to who we are as a community. It’s a tall order to create a campaign that highlights multiple points of interest while targeting multiple demographics, but they did and they did it very well. On top of their unmatched creativity, the Revel team embodied the word partner and became a true extension of our team. With this campaign as the driving message behind our strategy, Springfield saw record-breaking numbers in occupancy in 2021 and incredible engagement across all digital platforms. I look forward to continuing our partnership and growing this message with future campaigns. ”
