Communication – ways & measures

Flemish coast is a“declaration of love“ to young families!

Creative approach :

Creative approach :

The Flemish Coast is a “declaration of love” to young families!

Because everyone (the waffle maker, crab fisherman, porter, playground worker, fast food vendor, zoo or museum director) gives his/her very best year after year to see bright/happy children's faces .

By families for families: Each person loves his/her job and enjoys doing what they can to ensure families have a happy holiday. All on the Flanders coastline could in principle be regarded as one big family. Even specifice family attractions on the Flanders Coast (like the coastal tram, special boat in the harbour etc.) may figuratively be seen as a member of the Flanders Coast family. 

10 ambassadors for 10 seaside cities/resorts:For our coastal campaign, we will select a “ambassador" for each seaside ciety/resort, for instance, a real crab fisherman from Oostduinkerke, etc. who will proclaim his "love of family".

Creative approach:

The Flemish Coast is a “declaration of love” to young families!

A fun-filled world of indulgence Being aware of the pleasure plays a very important role in this context - to have all the pieces of the holiday puzzle (eating, fun, sleeping) fit together for a picture of indulgence/enjoyment. A common feeling is experienced by all family members: social enjoyment, mutual activities, having time for one another, "down time". Emotions count - The Flanders Coast offers truly special family moments: The Flanders Coast awakens feelings of harmony, total family friendliness and security. We would like to convey this message in a pleasant and active way with our Declaration of Love campaign. 

We want to reach relevant families directly in NRW in an authentic and outstanding way, in other words, by appealing either to the family as a whole or also by appealing to single family members.
