Latvia's tourism campaign 'Neighbours tend to surprise!'
Agency: Bounce
Description
Problem: Lithuanians and Estonians don’t travel to Latvia because they think that it is too similar to their homeland.
Idea: Let Lithuanians and Estonians change their mind by themselves by using their actors, Latvian self-irony and figurative meaning.
Solution: Shoot 3 TV spots with one Lithuanian and Estonian who tells their fellows in their language, how deeply disappointed he is in Latvia, because it didn’t meet his need for the feeling exactly like at home. Therefore, we advertise Latvia by not suggesting to come here, because obviously we have very different perspectives of life. And as we all know from our experience in houses and apartments – sometimes there is nothing weirder and more surprising than your neighbors.
Each of the TV spot is dedicated to its own theme – nature, culture and activities for families.
