Tripadvisor Unveils "Vacations Miss You" Digital Campaign
Just in time for peak summer travel season, Tripadvisor partnered with Stink Studios to develop a digital campaign to inspire U.S. consumers to get ready to travel again. After more than a year of staying at home and missing the people, places and things we care about, it's important to make the next vacation count. As seen in :30 and :15 second digital videos on the Tripadvisor social media channels and website, the creative shows that travelers aren't the only ones who miss vacations -- our suitcases do, too, and they can't wait to get back out there.
