Tourism Noosa encourages locals to enter the Noosa biosphere in new campaign via Paper Moose

Tourism Noosa has launched its latest campaign, created by Paper Moose, aimed at drive market and domestic travellers during the covid era. In a strategic shift away from its international focus, the campaign encourages Aussies to unwind the natural way, with a trip to the UNESCO-listed region.

Using terrariums to represent a perfectly balanced Biosphere Reserve, the quirky spots explore different facets of the natural worlds inside, with playful stop motion. A move away from the mix of photographs and influencers normally used in tourism, the campaign aims to be unexpected and set the region apart using light-hearted humour and intriguing creative concepts.

The process was completed entirely in house, from the initial ideas through to voice overs and the intricate sets – resulting in over 1000 separate shots during the four-day shoot.

Says Nick Hunter, executive creative director, Paper Moose: “Noosa wanted to appeal to current consumer sentiment of clean, green and safe travel destinations in a very short time, focussing on sustainable tourism. With travel rules changing daily we needed to be fast and nimble to work within covid-19 restrictions. I couldn’t be prouder of the team for what they’ve achieved and also for engaging new freelancers during this tough time.”

Says Sonia Shillington, head of marketing and events, Tourism Noosa: “Paper Moose were absolutely awesome to work with on this highly creative and technical campaign. With all of the changing market conditions and therefore creative needs, they always upheld the strategic integrity of the campaign.

“As a very non-traditional tourism campaign, it was always going to be a brave approach, but we couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.”
