[04] THE PERFECT SHOT
With «The Perfect Shot», Switzerland Tourism launched a visually striking YouTube series in which four international content creators explore Switzerland from unique perspectives. On their quest for the perfect shot, they face creative challenges that showcase both well-known and hidden locations across the country.
«The Perfect Shot» successfully captivates a young, globally connected audience on YouTube. The series combines entertaining content with the beauty and diversity of Switzerland, representing a new form of tourism marketing. Its focus on authenticity and virtual travel resonates deeply with the audience, meeting them where they seek inspiration for their next adventure.
André Hefti, CMO of Switzerland Tourism, remarks: «By blending narrative, visual brilliance, and captivating characters, we tell compelling stories. The exciting adventures of the YouTube stars, coupled with top-tier production, once again showcase Switzerland Tourism’s pioneering role in tourism marketing—always with the goal of inspiring our viewers and future visitors to experience Switzerland firsthand.»
As part of this strategy, the official Switzerland Tourism YouTube channel saw impressive growth. With an 86% increase since the end of 2012, the channel surpassed 100,000 subscribers. This highlights the success of a consistent digital realignment, specifically designed to meet the needs of a younger audience.
The crowning achievement: the best 'Perfect Shot' was publicly displayed on Times Square in New York, giving the series a global stage, culminating in accolades such as Gold at the US International Awards 2024 and the New York Festivals TV & Film Award.
