Analysis

Tourism Queensland advertised an island caretaker job to promote the Great Barrier Reef. This recruitment ad directed readers to the website behind the global application campaign.

“THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD.”
Job offerConcrete rewardOpen participation

Why it worked

The salary and duties make the headline sound like an opportunity someone can act on. Ordinary tasks become desirable because of the island setting. The application deadline creates a reason to visit the website soon. Applicants then give the destination attention through their own efforts to win the role.

Lesson

Turn a destination’s benefits into an opportunity people can apply for.
