Lost Yet Found In Bermuda
The Bermuda Tourism Authority (BTA) has launched a new campaign — Lost Yet Found, a wide-ranging multimedia marketing initiative that highlights Bermudian experiences and entices visitors to dive deeper into the island’s culture. The result will shed light on the Bermuda way of life, making a vacation on the island a richer and more rewarding journey.
Lost Yet Found leans into the mystery of Bermuda. It doesn’t give everything away — it invites people to find Bermuda for themselves and to find the activities, people, cuisine, and experiences that speak to them. Bermuda has something to dazzle just about anybody: pink and blue beaches, vibrant art and culture, impeccable style, cosmopolitan class, history in its bones, and some of the greatest golf on the planet. But the best part of Bermuda? Bermudians.
Jamari Douglas, the BTA’s Vice President of Marketing, PR & Communications, explained that: “Lost Yet Found is pure Bermuda. Our agency is led by a Bermudian, our BTA Marketing team is mostly Bermudian, the production was shot by Bermudians, and the video talent is all Bermudian. With the support of our international partners, we worked to create a campaign that is authentic to the Bermuda experience. We want our visitors to enjoy the joy and magic that every Bermudian does ù all the things that make us the unique, world-class destination that we are.”
The Lost Yet Found campaign was built around extensive research and data which showed that potential visitors are seeking authentic experiences in the destinations they visit — and that Bermuda is well-positioned to provide those experiences. The BTA intends to utilize this campaign to drive visitors to the island in line with organizational objectives as outlined in the National Tourism Plan.
The campaign will be rolled out in the coming months with both digital and out-of-home placements being secured in key markets such as New York, Toronto, and Miami.
Additionally, there will be a focus on attracting a new demographic to Bermuda with a focus on secondary markets such as Dallas, Vancouver, and Atlanta. Research shows these cities show high interest in traveling to Bermuda.
Tracy Berkeley, interim Chief Executive Officer at the BTA, said that: “The launch of the campaign is great news for Bermuda’s tourism sector. It comes at a crucial point on our strategic recovery journey, providing us with the tools to build awareness, engage the marketplace, and attract the right type of visitors to the island during a critical time of year.”
Berkeley continued: “We are proud of the campaign which offers a stunningly fresh take on Bermuda and exudes authenticity while remaining in alignment with the goals and objectives of the National Tourism Plan. We have employed business intelligence from global, regional, and local markets as part of our strategic marketing and are confident that our data-driven insights will deliver what is needed to push the destination forward.”
