Azerbaijan: Take Another Look
Go to case study 

A land of adventure

Azerbaijan is full of incredible contrasts, infused with history and culture at every turn. The challenge was to raise awareness of the varied travel opportunities within the country, showcasing cities like Baku and Sheki, as well as lesser-known treasures.

The curious,
eco-conscious
traveller

Today's travellers are looking for exciting new experiences in
incredible destinations, steeped in culture. At the same time,
they're far more eco-conscious and want to travel sustainably, so
we had to demonstrate how Azerbaijan could fulfil these needs.

Discovering Azerbaijan

BBC StoryWorks produced a branded content series to tell the story of Baku, Sheki and the wine regions, which was promoted across relevant sections of BBC.com like BBC Travel.

We also ran TV spots on BBC World News to showcase the beauty of the country's culture and history. The ten month campaign included adjacent spot placements alongside three relevant editorial programmes – The Travel Show (Taste of the City – Baku); Wonders of Azerbaijan and An Art Lover's Guide to Baku. 30" audio ads also ran on BBC Sounds across the travel, lifestyle, and food and drink podcast categories.

Exceeding
expectations

The branded content performed well, exceeding expectations in terms of page views and dwell time. In particular, the Sheki City Guide has been a standout success.
