TourismSince the beginning of the 20th century, regions are heavily

competing for visitors.

© MetaDesign 2010 page 8

TourismAnd they still do.

© MetaDesign 2010 page 9

Global marketsRegional specialties are popular. With strong branding they

can prevail in the face of tough competition from huge

multinationals and their mass-produced industrial goods.

© MetaDesign 2010 page 10

Political involvementPolitics play a key role in terms of structures, opportunities

and risks. Different people and organizations are responsible

for tourism, foreign investment and export marketing.

© MetaDesign 2010 page 11

Mind the clichéThe image of a country is often a caricature of reality –

the diversity is missing! Consider brand drivers that are

significantly more complex than those for companies.

© MetaDesign 2010 page 12

Your stakeholdersInternal communication is mission critical due to the

emotional impact and need for support!

© MetaDesign 2010 page 13

The future is here!In many regions, the young generation has lost the

connection and sees no future if they stay. They move

abroad to study and might not come back afterwards.

© MetaDesign 2010 page 14

CompetitionMore and more countries and regions are competing

intensely for tourists, investors and buyers of their products.

© MetaDesign 2010 page 15

ComplexityInnumerous factors influence the strategy and the success of

a place branding project.

Products (export)Typical products and companies fromthe region etc.

Government/politicsPolitical system, laws (e.g. taxation),government approach etc.

Regional factorsInfrastructure as seen by companies andresidents

CultureCultural heritage, present-day offerings

(film, music, art and literature)

PeopleCharacter/values,

famous personalities etc.

TourismLandscape, climate, places of interest,

infrastructure etc.

• 100% of qualified companies use the new seal of approvalfor agricultural products

• Today more than 2,500 companies communicate the newbrand

• In addition, more than one billion products with the SouthTyrol label are exported each year – as trade ambassadorsfor South Tyrol

Lessons learned –success factors in placebranding

Branding South Tyrol

© MetaDesign 2010 page 73

• Regional branding projects can achieve their

greatest potential when they are approached

holistically

• Government, businesses and society as a whole

need to join forces and create synergies

• Piecemeal solutions are not beneficial to brand

strategy

01

A hand is stronger than fivefingers

© MetaDesign 2010 page 74

• In developing strategy, do not aim for the lowest

common denominator

• Focused interaction of design and communication

is what gives a brand a clear, unmistakable profile

• The number and diversity of stakeholders and

products make this a great challenge

02The courage to focus

© MetaDesign 2010 page 75

• Design is particularly important in regional

branding projects

• Visual communication is what turns the common

strategy into an experience for the senses, creating

a marker that allows the many stakeholders to

appear as one

• An attractive look reaches people’s hearts – in the

market and in the region

03

The power of visualcommunication

© MetaDesign 2010 page 76

• Existing brand owners are often worried that they

will lose their own identities

• But that is not the goal: everyone can and should

continue to tell their own story – in the context of

the big story

• The target is two-way image transfer, because the

whole is more than the sum of its parts

04Unity in diversity

© MetaDesign 2010 page 77

• Branding is not a democratic process

• This is a tremendous challenge for regions, as there

is no central authority to take decisions – in

contrast to companies

• It is therefore important to inspire this

decentralized group of stakeholders for the

common idea

05Don’t push – pull

© MetaDesign 2010

Five first steps to brand a country or region

1. Establish a working group with opinion leaders frompolitics, business, culture and media.

2. Identify the image the brand has among relevantstakeholders at home and abroad.

3. Develop a clear and simple brand idea or story, one thateveryone understands and acknowledges.

4. Translate this idea into a strong, appealing and flexibledesign. And note: a brand is more than a logo!

5. Make sure that the brand is not only implemented,but embraced and loved.
