Oman Ministry of Heritage & Tourism (MOT) is in charge of the promotion of The Sultanate of Oman via their brand Experience Oman.

Social media activation for Experience Oman
THE BRIEF

Experience Oman wanted to meet three main digital goals: help the brand to grow its online presence and followers across social media platforms; increase traffic to Experienceoman.Om; and drive booking conversions.

As the Top Tourism Marketing Agency and Advertising Company In Oman, we needed to come up with a campaign that communicated the brand’s hospitable personality but was unconventional enough to entice a cynical audience to make it go viral.

OUR APPROACH

Oman offers visitors with open arms – a welcome that is unmatched by any other destination on earth. It is this spirit of unparalleled hospitality that makes people so naturally inclined to share their Oman travel experiences with the world. We tapped into this insight to create ‘#OmanByYou’.

#OmanByYou is the first Social Media Activation created by a tourism board that only uses User Generated Content (UGC) for its marketing. All the videos, stories, and content used were created by real people – no scripts, actors, directors, staged scenarios or make-up!

Through UGC, we highlighted the culture, fun, adventure, beauty, luxury and friendliness of Oman through the lenses of genuine tourists and residents – and then invited others to get involved as well.

The Unique Digital Marketing Services we provided for this campaign included creating landing pages on the website to promote the campaign, video material, Google Display Network banners and social media content for Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

#OmanByYou social media campaign for Experience Oman
The result

#OmanByYou not only showcased the beauty of the country in a raw and relatable way, it allowed visitors to really feel part of the campaign as their images and videos were credited – making them the stars of the show!

  • +USD300K production cost savings
  • +4.5K new pieces of UGC shared after the campaign launch
