Through the Red By Marrakech concept – which is designed to promote the city as a dynamic, accessible destination rich in design, inspiration and culture – BPCM will seek to increase awareness of Marrakech's tourist and cultural attractions.  By utilizing a strategic and targeted media outreach program, BPCM will add a new dimension to one of Morocco's most diverse cities.

Program elements include:

• Lifestyle media outreach and press trips: a media relations campaign positioning Marrakech as the destination for North Americans for a city break. This will be achieved by highlighting the city's accessibility and diverse offerings in terms of culture, art, shopping, activities and food.
• General public events: events taking place in well-known venues in six capital cities around the world – each one as cosmopolitan as Marrakech – will immerse the public into the magic of the city.
• Opinion leader outreach: Marrakech's spirit and atmosphere – the very essence of the "Pearl of the South" – will be showcased at an exclusive event in the fall in each of the target markets, including New York, London, Paris, Milan, Berlin, and Moscow.

The strategy involves a series of press trips aimed at different lifestyle categories, distributing content and news, building a community network and optimizing Marrakech's presence in social media.
