One Highlight
Team Key is excited about Newfoundland Tourism's recent ad, a brilliant reply to a Super Bowl ad by Vrbo that used a traditional song from Newfoundland one of the provinces in Canada, in a way that received mixed feelings from the locals. The Vrbo commercial highlights the ease of finding a place that's as inviting inside as it is appealing outside, yet it inadvertently caused some dissatisfaction by mixing vacation blunders with a song dear to Newfoundland's heart. Spotting an opportunity, Newfoundland Tourism crafted an ad to showcase the province's stunning landscapes and vibrant culture, using the same song.
With a positive approach, Newfoundland Tourism captures the breathtaking beauty of Newfoundland. It asserts that wherever you find yourself in Newfoundland and Labrador, you'll be struck by the genuine warmth of its people, along with the magnificence of its scenery.
