Description
Marketing campaigns on this project will aim to attract domestic overnight / city break / short break leisure visitors pre, during and post the Games using a mixed media approach (online and offline) to target the relevant audiences at different stages in their awareness, consideration and booking journeys. While this programme is closely aligned to the Commonwealth Games, this project focuses specifically on tourism promotion. Note these campaigns are intended to complement and enhance the Games-focused marketing campaigns.

The power of art and culture to bring people together, celebrate our identities and find common ground will be central to the Games. For this a six-month programme of new work, installations, exhibitions, performances and major events will showcase the artists, creatives and cultural organisations of Birmingham, the West Midlands and the Commonwealth, on a global stage.
