London and Paris campaign

Read about our campaign to inspire US audiences to visit London and Paris on one epic trip.
London-Paris campaign

Find out about our London and Paris campaign which generated incredible results following a groundbreaking partnership with the city of Paris.

As part of a landmark city-to-city tourism agreement between the Mayor of London and the Mayor of Paris, London & Partners joined forces with the Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau in a historic partnership to deliver an integrated campaign showcasing both cities to overseas visitors.

The aim of the multi-channel campaign focussed on inspiring US millennials to visit London and Paris on one epic combined trip, using the high-speed Eurostar as the mode of transport between the two cities.

We worked with Eurostar, Marriott and United Airlines, as well as our network of tourism partners and members, to create a joint marketing campaign targeting a high-value audience.

The campaign was delivered in two separate phases from October 2018, with part two continuing to build on the landmark success of the first phase of the campaign.
