Brand USA Virtual Travel Week

One of our most memorable campaigns of last year - and our first fully virtual event - was Brand USA Travel Week Europe 2020. After the success of Travel Week Europe in London in 2019, we had to adapt to the circumstances of the pandemic. We worked with the team at Brand USA to take the networking event online and deliver a series of events across four days, which continued to drive growth in the U.S. travel sector.

Colombia x World Music Day

Back in June, we were tasked with showcasing the incredible diversity and vibrancy of Colombia. We partnered with World Music Day to create a highly aesthetic video to share across social media, celebrating music and dance throughout the regions of Colombia.

Croatia - Keeping Consumers Engaged and Informed

It’s important destinations remain front of mind throughout the pandemic so that when the world is ready to travel again, people are inspired to visit. With this in mind, we created and managed a strategy for Croatia over the duration of 2020 to address crisis communications and keep the wanderlust alive so that when the time was right, people would book a holiday in Croatia.

Together in Travel

There’s no denying it’s been a tough year for the travel industry. As we venture into 2021, we look back on the year that, despite its adversities, saw Hills Balfour create some incredible campaigns of which we, as a company, are extremely proud! Over the next two weeks, we will be sharing a collection of our favourite campaigns of 2020, starting with Together In Travel, which we worked on with the WTTC. We hope they inspire you.

Regenerative Travel

If you're looking for something to listen to this weekend, why not checkout David Keen's latest podcast with Amanda HillsBalfour? Focused on regenerative travel, this podcast takes a look at how brands that engage on a local level will shape global tourism moving forwards so that we can build back better and become more conscientious travellers following the COVID-19 crisis. https://bit.ly/3nNzN6P

Our Story

Let us introduce ourselves properly. We’re a group of what we believe to be some of the most talented people in sales, marketing, PR, creative strategy and production. A collective of professionals from the travel, hospitality, sport and other sectors - people who share a passion and track record in facilitating growth through better communication and developing stronger relationships. You’ll find some of us in our offices in London and Dubai and others in our partner offices around the world where we’re lending a hand.

Why do we do what we do? We know how to help places grow - cities, countries, regions, their infrastructures that drive them forward from outside and in. But most importantly, we help the people, societies, communities, entrepreneurs, and leaders within them explore and flourish. It’s what we’ve been doing for nearly 20 years and we’ve got a trusted friend in every continent to prove it. We know travel and tourism better than almost anyone else and that’s just the start. We help people to entertain. We can harness sport to move a nation forward too. We go further, stretch wider.

Not one of our people is as smart as all of us together. Our knowledge is our greatest asset and we’re here to share it. We know how to get noticed, how to change what people think and how they feel, and how to get them to do something, sometimes unexpectedly. We are brave thinkers who know our craft better. We create and grow brands, build bold blueprints of how everything can communicate better. We’ll create disruptive concepts and we’ll help the people of this world experience, share and celebrate with us.

We help the most ambitious places and people on earth grow into truly remarkable, successful societies.
