ALI SHORT Founder and President
Social Media
a. For our social media strategy, we plan to create our own
Discover the Catskills platform on social platforms such as
Instagram and TikTok. Our handle will be @discoverthecatskills, and
on it we will post engaging content that aligns with our campaign
messages and objectives. Having a social media presence is
critical to reach our target audience of 18-25-year-olds, as most
people within this demographic rely on social media to help them
form opinions about a particular vacation destination.
Campaign b.We plan to post individual content as well as partnered
content in collaboration with @iloveny on Instagram and TikTok.
Strategies Using the @iloveny platform as a springboard, we will be able
& Tactics to reach @iloveny’s current audience and alert them of our
Catskills campaign. Posting content that features popular
destinations within the Catskills, such as restaurants, trails,
activity spots, and lodging will help inform our audience about
all of the amenities the Catskills have to offer and influence
them to book their next trip here.
Influencer Strategy
a. As briefly mentioned above, our Discover the Catskills
campaign involves reaching out to popular social media
influencers on Instagram and TikTok and asking them to create
content on their own trip to the Catskills. Similarly to our social
media tactic, recruiting influencers to post content online will
be a surefire way to reach our target demographic of 18-25-
year-olds. In an era where one’s social media presence and
aesthetic are highly valued, having potential travelers see other
online personalities post high-quality content in the Catskills
will help entice them to take a trip to the same place and
capture similar content for their own platforms.
b. The influencers we select will have a significant following on
Instagram and/or TikTok, be in the travel/lifestyle sphere, and
ideally live within a day's drive of the Catskill region. We will
invite these influencers to go on an all-expenses-paid weekend
trip to the Catskills where they will be required to post about
their experiences and tag our platform, @discoverthecatskills.
As a result, all of those who follow these influencers will see
the Catskill region’s features in a new light and hopefully be
influenced to take a similar trip to the Catskills for themselves.
This strategy also intends to help us gain a larger social media
following as well.
