Welcome to Grayling Bratislava

Grayling supported campaign of Google launching the service „Flights“ in Slovak language. At the same time, Google was also localizing a feature in Google Search called „Destinations“.

Our aim was to spread the word around targeting largest audience possible. Due to the limited budget, we decided to rely on proven media realtions tools and based our strategy on 2-phase approach. It the first phase we aimed to reach out to 2 Tier A media with a strong impact on consumers, especially young people, via using high-quality and tailored materials. In the second phase, we focused on nationwide distribution, including targeting popular travel blogs and influencers, who could manage to reach a relatively broad young audience.

The right timing brought us results that exceeded expectations, and Flight and Destinations soon became a popular and practical guide for anyone planning trips, vacations or business trips.

IT skills testing of Slovaks – IT Fitness Test – is a nationwide initiative of IT Association of Slovakia (ITAS) to verify digital skills, knowledge of the Internet and social networks or online marketing. This testing has been carried out for several years and its popularity is still growing. In past years, more than 26,000 pupils, students and teachers from primary, secondary and higher education, as well as those who wanted to test their digital skills, were involved annually. Grayling´s efforts contributed to this success, our main responsibilities included content creation, development of press materials, third parties and public stakeholder outreach and social media campaign.
