  2. Knokke-Heist is much more than just a resort on the Belgian coast.  • It is a sophisticated town, appreciative of the arts and an irresistible magnet for tourists in the summer. It is a great place to rub shoulders with the glitterati, a place to see and be seen. BRAND

  3. SITUATION The coast contends with seasonalvariations. A large amount of visitors during the summer. But in the winter, Knokke-Heist tends to be a bit abandoned. The number of visitors falls sharply after the year end and sales period, reaching its nadir in February. There is no obvious way of attracting people to Knokke-Heist in the winter. Only real ‘fans’ of the town feel compelled to come and brave the wind and cold. • OBJECTIVES Increase the amount of visitors in February Generate free publicity BRIEF

  4. THE IDEA • CREATIVE CONCEPT • TIMING: VALENTINE • TOOL: KISSING BOX • EMO: A KISS TO REMEMBER -> A concept that people took to their heart

  5. STRATEGY • Using a stunt in the form of “the disastrous marriage proposal at the football match between CercleBrugge and Standard”, a viral campaign was launched with the aim of generating free publicity for Knokke-Heist. • This orchestrated stunt created more than 1.5 million hits on You Tube. As well as a big buzz on blogs and social media.

  7. STRATEGY • Once the ball was rolling, a press release was sent out to announce the Valentine@Knokke-Heist event, the “place to be ”for a “successful marriage proposal”. The release was published extensively by the media. “Take her away to a place she will never want to leave Come to the Kissing Box in Knokke-Heist on 12 and 13 February - Valentine@knokke-heist”

  8. VALENTINE@Knokke-Heist • “A KISS” TO REMEMBER becomes “A PLACE” TO REMEMBER. For Valentine@Knokke-Heist, a “Kissing Box” was created where on 12 and 13 February lovers could seal their love with a kiss. As a memento, all “kissers” were given a photo to take home with them. They were also able to enter the competition (to win a gastronomic weekend) and enjoy free champagne on the promenade.
