Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia aimed to elevate awareness and drive increased visitations and bookings to the iconic Ayers Rock resort. Amidst the bustling digital age where capturing the audience's attention is more challenging than ever, Voyages sought innovative solutions to stand out and connect with potential visitors on a deeper level.
The primary challenge was to generate heightened awareness about Voyages Indigenous Tourism towards the Ayers Rock resort, transforming it not just into a travel option but a must-visit destination. The campaign needed to captivate the audience's imagination, encouraging them to explore the unique cultural and natural beauty of Uluru.
To meet this ambitious objective, a strategic approach leveraging high-quality content and targeted distribution was adopted. The campaign's cornerstone was the creation of 2 bespoke articles crafted by Fabulate's subject matter experts. These pieces were tailored for publication on two prominent platforms, AWOL and Urban List, renowned for their influential presence in the travel and lifestyle sectors.
To amplify reach and engagement, the campaign employed native advertising across premium publisher sites, utilizing the Taboola platform. This approach ensured that the captivating content reached a highly targeted audience, specifically those with an inclination towards travel and exploration.

The Urban List article, titled "4 Awe-Inspiring Ways to Experience The Magic of Uluru After Dark," achieved 36,326 unique views, significantly surpassing the forecasted goal. The content's compelling nature was reflected in an average user dwell time of 0:53 and a cost per view (CPV) of $0.49. Social media traction further extended the article's reach, engaging thousands and sparking conversations.
AWOL's feature, "The 1,100 Jaw-Dropping Drone Show Over Uluru," mirrored the success with 36,767 unique views and an impressive dwell time, showcasing the innovative ways Uluru can captivate visitors. The piece's affordability and broad social reach underscored the effectiveness of well-crafted content in drawing interest.

The strategy honed in on individuals aged 25-40 with high income levels, particularly those with a strong interest in travel. This precise targeting led to high engagement rates, especially among those passionate about nature travel and exploring new vacation options.
