We worked with our communications team to deliver audience specific creative. Our goal was to demonstrate the City of Vaughan as a destination for your next event. Within the city, we offer a variety of amenities, accommodations, attractions, restaurants and meeting facilities, positioning the City of Vaughan as a one-stop for your next event. One of the challenges we faced creating this campaign was encapsulating everything the City of Vaughan has to offer to those looking to host their next event here. Our creative team was successful in creating a campaign that would be clear, attractive and enticing.

The Call To Action (CTA) of our campaign ads direct hosts to visit our dedicated website hostinvaughan.ca or engage with us on our social media platform. Once they’ve landed on our website, they will be able to filter by event venue and supplier listings to find the perfect match for their event needs.

Our advertising campaigns have generated unique views on our site, resulting in inquiries to our department and ultimately hosted events in the city.
