- In 2009, a global 'want' advert was placed by Tourism Queensland for...a caretaker for Hamilton Island. - The application process was a simple ask: submit a web video of why you should win this ahead of everyone else. - With a budget of 1.2 million dollars, the word was spread across the globe through Facebook , Twitter , classified ads (print and online), Youtube , and online banners. - In addition to the user generated content, Tourism Queensland created an interactive dedicated webpage and viral video, communicating their message to global experience seekers across 8 key international markets. - The response was immense: 34,684 applicants had entered by the end of the promotion. - The 34,684 entrants were whittled down to 16 finalists and the winner, Ben Southall , was announced as the lucky new caretaker on May 6, 2009. - Ben began his new role on July 1, 2009. - It could be argued that it is one of the most successful viral campaigns ever launched, effectively combining viral marketing with traditional media. Even after the competition has ended and the victor's now on that far-away Island living the dream, the approach has encouraged continued interaction between the brand and the consumer. Key Metrics: - The campaign for the Australian island generated: - 610 hours of user content - 8 million web visits Plus: - The socially seeded, multi-channel ad strategy yielded media coverage worth 150 million USD, far out-weighing the initial 1.2MM USD budget. - And...as Ben blogs about his experience as one of his daily chores, he continues to maintain consumer interest in Hamilton Island. It was the first campaign to garner 3 Grand Prix awards at Cannes, including the inaugural PR Grand Prix.
