Visit Antwerp the Diamond Capital
Dutch people primarily see Antwerp as a fun city trip destination, but the rest of the world knows the city mainly for its diamonds. A staggering 86 percent of all rough diamonds are traded in Antwerp, and every diamond in the world passes through the city at least once. It’s no wonder that the Belgian city has been called the Diamond Capital of the world for over 5 centuries. This is something we highlight for Visit Antwerp.
Goal
Increasing attention to the city of Antwerp among Dutch consumers, raising awareness of Antwerp as the Diamond Capital of the world, and generating more Dutch tourism in the city.
Campaign
We spread the message that Antwerp wants Amsterdam’s Diamond Street back, with a nod to Antwerp as the Diamond Capital. Additionally, we took a group of lifestyle journalists to Antwerp to immerse them in the splendor of the diamond city, with visits to the DIVA Diamond Museum, a tour of the Golden Streets and the Diamond Quarter, and dining experiences at exquisite restaurants.
Results
Free publicity in magazines such as Happy in Shape, JFK and Harper’s Bazaar. A print reach of up to 450 thousand in circulation and an online reach of over 1.3 million Dutch consumers.
