Austria Tourism — Boosting Awareness and Engagement through Gamification
Boosting Awareness and Engagement through Gamification
Campaign Objective
Awareness & Engagement
Solution
The centerpiece of the campaign was an interactive sledding game ad. Users guided a sled down a fast-paced downhill track, discovering the diversity of Austria’s winter regions in a playful way — from skiing fun and culinary highlights to adventures beyond classic winter sports. The campaign was delivered 100% cookieless and achieved broad reach across leading premium media brands. AI-powered contextual matching ensured that ads were served exclusively in brand-relevant environments.
The Story
Austria Tourism continued its image campaign “Austria is just Lebensgefühl,” originally launched in spring, now with a focus on experiences during the winter season. The goal of the campaign was to increase awareness for winter holidays in Austria while generating strong engagement with the content.
Instead of relying on traditional advertising formats, an interactive gamification ad was designed to make the diversity of winter activities in Austria’s winter regions — both on and off the slopes — playfully tangible and engaging.
Results & Creative
The game successfully conveyed Austria’s unique winter lifestyle in an entertaining way, generating high attention and strong interaction with the content.
