Solution
Mitso began by creating new brand concepts for the Boardwalk, considering its history and heritage and the Insta-worthy tourist landmark it has grown to be. The new brand scheme pays homage to the earthy tones of the natural landscape and new brand guidelines were rolled out across Cuilcagh’s new online booking platform and social channels to create a consistent brand presence.

We created a bespoke, functional and user-friendly online customer booking system to enable the Sheridan family to easily manage car park bookings and footfall on the Boardwalk during busy seasons
Mitso also managed a digital and PR launch campaign to generate mass awareness of the new system and to promote its core conservation message, engaging with key stakeholders at Fermanagh & Omagh District Council and Cuilcagh Lakelands to amplify the message across their own channels.
We also made the 11km trek once or twice ourselves to capture new high-quality photography and videography assets for use across website, social media and brand collateral.
