Retail Partnership Activation

Challenge

Amelia Island sought to expand awareness in key Southeastern feeder markets where Harris Teeter operated more than 200 supermarkets. The objective was to reach high-value consumers through a trusted retail channel and drive measurable engagement beyond traditional destination advertising.

Strategy

We structured a multi-layered partnership integrating in-store promotion, digital marketing, and a vacation giveaway tied to Harris Teeter’s e-VIC loyalty program. Exclusive offers for VIC cardholders aligned destination messaging with direct consumer incentives.

Impact

The three-month campaign generated 218 placements and more than 42 million impressions. Harris Teeter reported a nine percent increase in e-VIC enrollment during the promotion. The initiative evolved into a recurring annual partnership that continued for a decade, extending its long-term value.
