So Close, But Still So Far Away
The Problem
Located only 22 miles from Los Angeles, Catalina Island has long been regarded as a vacation getaway for Angelenos seeking a respite from the grind of everyday life. It’s not only been a getaway for the common man and woman, but also a destination for Hollywood celebrities to enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, stunning views, and experience iconic points of interest like the Catalina Casino.
The Approach
As a nearby destination with established familiarity, awareness was not the problem to solve. Rather, it was creating an emotional hook to remind a local population that a spectacular destination was waiting to be re-discovered. Or for some, waiting to be discovered for the first time.
