The Swedish Number

Analysis

Sweden invited people abroad to call a number and speak to a randomly connected resident. This official image presents the number as the main attraction.

Direct contactResident voicesSimple invitation

Why it worked

The large number explains how to participate before the smaller text explains the idea. A real conversation offers a different view of the country from a prepared tourism message. Residents become the campaign’s speakers. The open invitation also gives callers a clear story to tell after their conversation.

Lesson

Give people direct access to the people behind the place you promote.
