Year
of the Sea 2018 roadshow
We’ll
be on the road in October for a series of roadshows to explore how you can work
with us on the Year of the Sea in 2018.
A showcase of Welsh food and drink with a Year of the Sea theme will
also be available throughout the day.
We’ll
update you on the latest plans for our 2018 marketing theme and give you a
flavour of the campaign creative and content calendar for the year. We’ll
also touch on the 2019 theme - Year of Discovery – and share the latest news on
The Wales Way marketing campaign we are developing around the main routes
across Wales. You’ll also learn more
about the Wales brand and what it means for you – with practical tips and
advice on aligning your own branding to the wider Wales brand.
Local
tourism industry guest speakers will share their experience of applying for
funding to help them link into the Year of the Sea theme.
The
events will start at 10:00 am and finish at 4:30 pm - a light lunch will be
provided.

Wales brand shortlisted for The Design Museum London Exhibition
Welsh Government’s
work to develop a refreshed approach to promoting
Wales to the world, led by Cardiff based creative
agency Smörgåsbord, has been shortlisted among
global entries for the prestigious Beazley Designs of the Year exhibition.
London’s
Design Museum has recently announced the nominees for the 10th anniversary
edition of the Beazley Designs of the Year award.
Cabinet
Secretary for the Economy and Infrastructure, Ken Skates, said: “Our aim was to create a compelling and
visually consistent identity to help reveal new, engaging stories about Wales
to complement our country’s rich history, beauty and culture. Being shortlisted for this prestigious award shows that our
innovative approach is standing out in the global marketplace.
“This approach has received
a fantastic response through the Year of Adventure and Year of Legends
campaigns. It has also been used to strengthen how we present Wales as a
location for businesses to trade and invest, the quality of our food and drink,
and has even been used as a foundation for a successful campaign to recruit
more GPs into Wales. I am delighted by the level of support and enthusiasm the
new approach has already attracted – particularly from the tourism and business
community in Wales, and also from quality private sector brands who have shown
an interest in working more closely with us to promote Wales to the world." Read more.
