Grey launches ‘Discover Hong Kong like a local’ campaign for tourism board

Advertising agency Grey has launched a campaign for the Hong Kong Tourism Board that invites travellers to “Discover Hong Kong like a local”.

Discover Hong Kong like a local

The campaign, which is the first piece of work to be press released by the network since the ‘I Sea’ refugee app controversy of five months ago, consists of a series of brand films, one featuring designer Anais Mak in a fast-cut film that depicts Hong Kong as a fashion hub.

Another film features Michelin-starred chef Umberto Bombana that shows Hong Kong to be a place for foodies.

Two more films are slated to be released before the end of the year.

The campaign is to run first in Asia, in markets including China, Taiwan, India, Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines and later in long-haul markets including Canada, France, Germany, UK, and the US.

It will run on BBC, CNBC, CNN, Discovery Channel, Fox and National Geographic, as well as on local television, and through HKTB’s social channels.

Sarah Trombetta, CEO of Grey Group Hong Kong, said in a press release: “Showcasing the local aspects of Hong Kong highlights the different dimensions this remarkable city has to offer. People love coming here, there’s no city quite like it with so many diverse and treasured moments waiting to be discovered.”
