Two digital campaigns were created for the 2019 Bathurst Winter Festival: an Instagram campaign to build followers and a Destination campaign, aimed at driving awareness and visitation from ‘low hanging fruit’ from Sydney and surrounds. Total budget was limited, however the results were exceptional.
