RESULTS

By winning the right to host the G20 meeting, Hangzhou had achieved huge recognition on the world stage. From this, there was an opportunity to leave a lasting impact on the city’s tourism industry.

With our campaign, we were able to help Hangzhou reach the right demographics, in the right destinations. But crucially, we were able to reach them at the right time as well.

Hangzhou experienced a surge in international tourism following the G20 summit and our campaign strategy and implementation helped boost the numbers.
