Tourism Tasmania explores the weird and wonderful of the winter season in Tassie

Tourism Australia has launched the latest iteration of its ‘Off Season’ campaign developed by BMF, encouraging Australians to refuel their souls in Tasmania this winter.

The campaign builds on the platform launched by BMF and Tourism Australia last winter season that urged Australians to embrace rather than escape the colder weather.

 

Shot in black and white by artist and photojournalist Stephen Dupont, the campaign creative captures the unique ways Tasmanians embrace the winter season – from the fiery celebrations of the solstice to the bracing cold of an icy plunge.

Encompassing six 15 and six seconds spots, each execution features a single black and white shot accompanied by stark audio of the scene at hand.

David Fraser, creative director at BMF commented: “To celebrate the delightful off-ness of Tasmania, we sought to create a campaign that captures Tassie’s creative ‘Off Season’ spirit at its best. Because in the darkest depths of Australian Winter, the island state comes alive.”

Emma Terry, chief marketing officer at Tourism Tasmania added: “We believe Tasmania offers a different winter holiday, something you need to experience to truly appreciate. Through this campaign we remind Australians of all the moments of creativity and inspiration the Tasmanian ‘Off Season’ has to offer to re-ignite the travel bug, inspire new experiences, and get behind our tourism industry.”
