“‘Peppa Pig’ celebrates the simple pleasures of family life and that theme is central to our campaign with VisitEngland,” says Rebecca Harvey, external vice president, global marketing, family and brands, eOne. “We’re absolutely delighted to be partnering with them on an initiative that will harness the brand’s popularity to boost tourism in England. With a content pipeline of 381 episodes all focused on family life, there’s plenty of inspiration, and we look forward to seeing families enjoying days at the beach, visiting castles, flying kites and, of course, jumping in muddy puddles just like Peppa and her family!”
The campaign drives visitors to a “Peppa Pig” online hub on VisitEngland’s website. The microsite features 25 experiences for preschoolers and their families,
“We want to inspire young families to follow in the footsteps of their favorite character and go on fun-filled year-round adventures across England,” says Clare Millin, director, VisitEngland. “From getting outdoors to jumping in muddy puddles in thousand-year-old forests and camping under the stars at their first music festival, there are amazing family-friendly experiences right across the country. Capturing the imagination of ‘Peppa Pig’ loving preschool families can create long-lasting memories that help boost regional tourism and build an emotional connection that will encourage them to explore their own backyard both now and in the future.”
Working with Global, owners of Heart FM radio, VisitEngland is also promoting the campaign through a national radio competition voiced by “Peppa Pig” and her family. The campaign will be boosted from mid-February with paid for digital advertising.
