Since I posted about Disney's "This Is Magic" campaign and how I would've arrived to that creative, I thought I'd share my thoughts on Universal Orlando Resort's take on how a vacation in Orlando should be like. Here's how I would've arrived at Universal's "It's more than magic. It's real." creative. Campaign: "It's more than magic. It's real." Target audience: Tourists and families who perceive theme parks as not a "real vacation". Consumer problem: Tourists with families don't go to Universal because it doesn't provide a "magical experience". Insight: Magic isn't real, so magical experiences are often artificial or fake. Advantage: Universal positions themselves as a place where movies come to life, as in real life. Strategy: Show tourists that they can experience something real at Universal Orlando by showing them real experiences make a longer lasting impression than magical ones. To my fellow strategists in my network, how would you have arrived to this creative? To my connections at Universal, how did I do? #brandstrategy #creativestrategy #universalorlando #itsmorethanmagicitsreal

Planning your Disneyland adventure? But how many days should you plan to visit? My recommendation based on experience is to aim for 4 park days to truly experience the magic! 🏰✨ Not including your travel days, this gives you ample time to explore both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. Why 4 days? It lets you soak in all the attractions, shows, and character meet-and-greets without feeling rushed. Plus, a Park Hopper ticket is a must! 🎟️💫 This way, you can seamlessly hop between the parks and catch all the excitement. 🚫 Try to avoid weekends if you can, as the parks tend to be less crowded during the week. This means shorter lines and more fun for you and your family! 🙌 ✨ Fun Fact: Did you know Disneyland is the only theme park designed and built under the direct supervision of Walt Disney himself? Unfortunately, Walt Disney passed away before he could see the completion of Walt Disney World in Orlando, making Disneyland extra special as his personal creation and vision come to life. 💖 What’s the first ride you head to when you enter Disneyland? ⬇️ #disneymoments #disneyworldtips #disneyworldparks #waltdisneyworldresorts #personaltravelagent #disneytravelagents #travelagentperks #disneyvacationplanning #disneyfamilyvacation #familyvacationideas #disneytravelplanning #vacationplanningtips #Disneyvacationtips
