Apart from the new YourSingapore website by digital agency XM Asia, the project is supported by TV commercials, print, outdoor and digital components. People interested in exploring Singapore further can access the smart itinerary planner on the site, which customises a tour for users. The website has e-commerce associates, which people can directly source for accomodations and travel guides. Taru Jain, managing director of XM Asia added that the site will develope further into a 'digital ecosystem' the next six months to include tools like CRM, mobile applications, search strategies and more.
Audiences will see the first TV commercial series when it launches later this week. BBH revealed that the first spot, titled ‘High Energy’, is pumped with adrenaline and explores the nightlife of Singapore. ‘Fun’ is the theme of the second ad, told through the eyes of a seven-year-old child on a daytime adventure.
"This is both a natural evolution and critical progression from Uniquely Singapore. We wanted to emphasise Singapore's unique selling points in terms of its concentration of attractions and ultimate user-friendliness more directly - and deliver them in a way that's relevant to the modern media environment,” said Ken Low, assistant chief executive of the marketing group at STB.
STB appointed BBH Asia-Pacific in April 2009.
