The Vancouver Fling

As the second campaign under Destination Vancouver’s Find Your Refresh brand platform, Vancouver Fling was an opportunity to evolve the platform rather than start from scratch.

Working alongside Will Creative, I helped build a campaign that leaned into Vancouver's proximity, personality, and cultural relevance, creating a playful story that resonated with Californians while thoughtfully navigating cross-border political tensions.

Results

The success of Vancouver Fling was driven by a combination of audience insights, creative optimizations, and a more intentional full-funnel approach. Each element was refined based on year-one learnings, resulting in a campaign that worked harder at every stage of the customer journey.
