The Downtown Victoria Business Association

The DVBA is the organization committed to the promotion and well-being of the downtown core. And a great job they are doing all around.

A Kiss in the City Photo Contest

Just prior to Valentine's Day, we suggested the DVBA host a photo contest - couples kissing in an easily identifiable downtown location. They agreed immediately. So we created the entry portal on their site, a print ad and poster series for poles just in the downtown core. The contest provided new content for their site to generate increased site visits.  Prizes from downtown businesses, helped generate retail traffic. And the use of posters exclusively in the core was especially affordable and immediate. Most importantly, it's positioned the downtown as the place for romance on Valentine's Day and any other day of the year. Click to enlarge images.

Living it up, downtown!

After our work with the Victoria Film Festival, especially the in-theatre trailer, the DVBA invited us to create an in-theatre spot demonstrating the vibrancy of the core. We chose to use downtown buskers in a single-shot song and dance number called “Living it up, Downtown!” Click image to view.
