Challenge
With international travel surging in early 2023, the US ranked among the top 10 destinations for Australian travelers once COVID-19 restrictions were lifted. Recognizing the opportunity, Travel Texas aimed to increase awareness of Texas as a premier travel destination for Australians and New Zealanders. To achieve this, it was crucial to understand their current brand awareness and lift in the region. Additionally, to drive consideration and website traffic, Travel Texas sought to connect with audiences beyond cookie-dependent browsers.

Results
Travel Texas quickly gained a competitive edge by reaching unique audiences, with 52% of the display audience engaging in cookieless environments. The BLL study revealed a significant increase in familiarity, with a 2.6x boost achieved through a GrowthAds-designed wrap creative (compared to the initial video). After 1-2 exposures, the campaign lifted awareness among those who knew “a fair amount” or “a little” about vacationing in Texas. After 3-4 exposures, there was an 84% increase in those who “knew a lot” about the destination. This campaign not only drove higher awareness and consideration for Travel Texas, but also provided valuable insights to optimize future campaigns, particularly in light of the impending deprecation of third-party cookies.
