Sometimes Charlotte leads a group of adults on a plough turn, sometimes she gives safety tips and sometimes we see her stopping for a bite to eat - because the obligatory "Germknödel" (yeast dumpling) at the lodge is simply part of a perfect day's skiing. The social media campaign is being played out on the TikTok and Instagram platforms, with a focus on the German, Swiss, British, Czech, Polish, Dutch, Belgian, Swedish and Danish markets.
Philosophy
Just in time for the next peak of the winter season during the semester break, the Austrian National Tourist Office in partnership with Wien Nord Serviceplan has launched an extraordinary social media campaign. The testimonial is three-year-old Charlotte, who, as "Austria's Youngest Ski Instructor", explains everything you need to know about skiing and everything else on the slopes in more than 15 short video episodes.
Result
Since the campaign launch in mid-January 2024, the videos have achieved 29 million views on TikTok and 21 million views on Instagram (as at the end of January). The campaign was implemented by the Austrian National Tourist Office together with its lead agency Wien Nord Serviceplan in cooperation with the Hong agency and SOVISO film production. "At the end of the day, it's about conveying joy," add Axel Spendlingwimmer and Michael Maier, the lead creative team behind the case. "This applies to winter vacations in Austria and to advertising in general. Little Charlotte has shown us all that it's all about simply having fun." All videos with Charlotte are available on the official TikTok channel of Austrian National Tourist Office and the Instagram account of Austrian National Tourist Office.
