Cape Town Tourism Facebook Holiday

Cape Town Tourism wanted to promote the unexpected side of Cape Town. All the small communities, never-heard of places and unearthed gems that can’t be found on Trip Advisor, Lonely Planet, Expedia, or even Google.

Since everyone could not be sent to Cape Town, people were allowed to send their Facebook profiles instead. 🙂 Through a Facebook app users were given a virtual, tailor-made Cape Town holiday that exposed them to all the unexpected places. A few lucky winners even got to experience their Facebook profile’s holiday for themselves.

Similarly last year, Obermutten a little and lovely mountain village from Switzerland was put on the world map through a very simple Facebook campaign. Check that out here.

The Schweppes Facebook Profile App

Recently Facebook released new improvements to the Facebook profile which makes it even easier for you to tell your story and learn about your friends. Shortly after the release a French artist took advantage of the new profile design to express himself. After which many other creative minds have also played around with their profiles.

This in turn inspired Schweppes to develop the Schweppes Profile App on Facebook, which helps anybody who doesn’t have Photoshop skills and much time to get a great new profile as well.

A great strategic play by Schweppes, as it provides a service that will be increasingly popular as the trend catches on. Click here to check out the app.
