Dogcation: How a travel agency got pet owners out travelling with a 627% ROMI

Summary: “The Dogcation-campaign is a great example of the great results that await when a brand identifies a common ground between a genuine commercial challenge and strong consumer interests. The case also demonstrates clear causality between the campaign and commercial results. 

By launching the Dogcation-competition on SoMe, Spies was met with overwhelming engagement from Scandinavian pet-owners. They not only participated in the competition, but also used their vouchers to purchase Spies-vacations afterward. 

Did it work? Kind of:
