Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC) has conducted a successful digital and print marketing campaign with Vogue France to promote the products and services available in the Maldives to the French market.

The month-long campaign started from 30th May 2023 onwards. The campaign aimed to strengthen the Maldives brand presence in France and increase arrivals from the market.

MMPRC highlights that the engagement from the community is exceptional, as the magazine is known to deliver high-impact news about the best new products, services and offers to potential visitors with varied lifestyles. Accordingly, this campaign with Vogue will help strengthen the Maldives’ brand as a top-of-the-mind destination in the French market.

A print and digital component was included in the campaign. Under the print component, a picture highlighting the Maldives as a luxury destination was advertised on the front of the April issue. The digital component featured pictures of the Maldives’ on Instagram and Facebook and the content had a guaranteed reach of 300,000.
