Broadsheet Media has launched a new content campaign series for Intrepid Travel to showcase their exclusive and authentic small group tours to Vietnam, targeting 22-39-year-olds passionate about food and new cultural experiences.
The content series includes Broadsheet’s first international, long-form documentary-style travel film, a 10-min guide to Vietnam called ‘Dispatch from Vietnam – A Week of Bikes, Boats, and Banh Mi.’ Supporting integrated content includes a short hype video, feature article, competition to win a trip to Vietnam, and a dedicated food video that taps into the Broadsheet audiences’ love for food and Vietnamese cuisine.
The film features Vietnamese-Australian-Kiwi photographer Michael Pham who guides viewers through a week-long, localised small-group travel experience through the streets and hidden secrets of Vietnam’s cities. Pham’s passion for photography, food, travel, and Vietnamese family connection made him the perfect talent to encourage Broadsheet readers to broaden their horizons and travel Vietnam with Intrepid.
The Broadsheet March 2023 audience survey revealed that for 84% of readers, travel is essential to their overall well-being. Furthermore, 2023 looks to be a big year for international travel, with 21% already travelling overseas this year and 50% having booked an international trip to depart in the next 12 months.
And, if they’re not travelling, 41% of younger readers are researching and are getting inspired. 63% of Gen Z want to travel somewhere with entirely different cultural experiences and languages. South East Asia is among the top destinations at 33% desirability, coming in just behind Western Europe (34%) and Southern Europe (34%).
Matthew Phillips, Broadsheet group sales and partnerships manager, said: “We’re so excited to be able to work with a global brand like Intrepid to deliver content to our audience that not only showcases the incredible beauty of Vietnam, but the impact of travel on local communities applies the Broadsheet lens to their ‘Good Trips Only’ messaging.”
Louise Laing, Intrepid general marketing manager ANZ, said: “We wanted to share the joy of travel and reach more 22–39-year-old travellers, so partnering with Broadsheet was a no brainer. This campaign has perfectly captured the “why” of small group adventure travel with Intrepid and we’re so excited to see it out into the world.”
