Hamilton Island Launches Instagram Photo Campaign/Competition
Hamilton Island are undertaking an interesting social media campaign to raise awareness of the island as a holiday destination and also increase their social media presence among other Australian’s, visitors, tourists and general holiday-goers.
Hamilton Island is managing this social media campaign internally – which is great to see, and the focus of the campaign will be around their Instagram account and hashtag.
You may remember this video we posted in September – Instagram Addicts Video. The same guys, Pilgramers (Instagramers on a pilgramage) are coming to Hamilton Island for an Instameet (Instagram meetup) from 23-25 November. The Hamilton Island Pilgramers will capture their experiences and post them on Instagram and other social media outlets such as You Tube, and Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Google+ sharing the InstaMeet in real-time with their networks of friends and followers.
Their latest video references their trip to Hamilton Island and how you can take part:
Sophie Baker, Hamilton Island’s Senior Communications Manager, said: ‘We’re very excited about promoting the Island through Instagram, one of the best ‘moment’ sharing platforms in social media. In today’s society, people take much of their inspiration and ideas for holidays from friends, family and followers, so hosting our own Ultimate InstaMeet is the perfect way to generate incredible visual social media content.’
