Destination Queenstown (DQ) and Lake Wanaka Tourism (LWT) are ‘flattening the hill’ in a new joint campaign to encourage travel between the two regions. Flatten the Hill launched July 23 and leverages the colloquial and affectionate phrase ‘over the hill’. Lake Wanaka Tourism’s media and campaign manager Gizelle Regan says the campaign is designed to build local connections and inspire Queenstown Lakes District residents to explore the region and spend time on each side of the hill. Ambassadors Seven pairs of ambassadors that embody our shared passions will showcase the hidden and not-so-hidden delights of each town, encouraging each other to explore and giving viewers an insight into secret stashes of snow, favourite vineyards, or favourite adventures to share with family and friends. Ambassadors include ski stars Jossi Wells and Alice Robinson, chefs Anthony Gradiska of Gibbston Valley and Mario
Rodrigues from Bistro Gentil, winemakers Nadine Cross of Peregrine and Jo Mills from Rippon, just to name a few. Queenstown Lakes Mayor Jim Boult says “it’s great to see this collaboration to support our businesses and community.” “I’ve long held the view that the townships of Wanaka and Queenstown form one district and that each compliments the other. I encourage people from all over to venture to the other side. From Makarora to Glenorchy and everything in between. Now is a great time to tick something off the must-do list as our district moves along the path to recovery together,” he says. Campaign creative was conceptualised and produced by Blend Creative Co and will showcase article content on both Queenstown and Wanaka channels with a special invitation from each ambassador for locals to explore their home with tips and tricks for making the most of a visit.
