Nowhere else do the members of our target audience encounter advertising as consistently as in the mountains. In average the target group spends 6 days
of 5+ hours skiing, which means full 30 hours and more on the mountain spend per trip. In this time they are repeatingly confronted with our advertisment which creates a brand recall of usally around 87,6%.
4. EMOTIONAL RESPONSE
One key aspect of these activations is the emotional response they trigger in people.
The emotional response that consumers have to advertising in ski resorts extends beyond the immediate moment.
When they see advertisement that resonate with their ski vacation experience, it becomes a part of their memories.
