East of England Tourism Awards 2021: Marketing Campaign of the Year

This award will look for those who truly understand their audience and base their marketing strategy on solid data and research. We are looking for marketing concepts which are creative, memorable but also measurable with a positive evidence of results

“Marketing is an integral part of the entrepreneurial sales process,” says Ed Pereira, director of Pear Communications, which sponsors this category.

“Without marketing a business can fail. Integrating marketing functions into every facet will give a company the edge above any competitor.

“Being unique and showing the world you can stand out is a powerful thing. A powerful marketing strategy can make all the difference in sales, business attitude and business moral.

Ed will be looking for entries that show boldness, as well as innovative and impactful storytelling to achieve brand magnification.

“Proactivity is what every business needs in the marketing world,” he says. “You need to be versatile and mobile in order to capture the audience and keep their attention; showing proactivity through a mixture of platforms puts you constantly in the forefront of your audience’s mind.

“Realistically, if you create a strategy based around your own understanding then you likely have made a strategy to fail. Using data and extensive research to build your strategy is a sure-fire way to provide the most accurate strategy possible.

“You will more likely produce content that will engage and inspire your audience to take the actions that you want them to. Brands use audience analysis to enhance their marketing strategy, customer experience, and brand impression by learning more about their existing and future consumers.”
So why should businesses take the time to enter this award?

“This award is a fantastic opportunity to improve your company’s visibility and reputation, and it should be taken very seriously by any business wanting to expand and be leaders in the local and national tourism industry,” concludes Ed.

The East of England Tourism Awards 2021 is open to tourism businesses operating across Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire. Entries close at midnight on Sunday, October 3. Shortlisted finalists will go through a judging process, which may include a site visit, before being announced on Saturday, January 15, 2022.
