PFLAG Canada

Destination Pride

FCB/SIX

BronzeBest Use of Digital - Best Use of Technology

Canada is a progressive country. So it’s a good travel destination for PFLAG+ travellers. How safe and welcoming a destination is can affect tourism decisions more than natural wonders. How does one assess which country is deserving of their holiday dollars? To answer this question, PFLAG and FCB/Six developed a data-driven mobile platform that reimagined the Pride flag as a dynamic bar graph. When people visited the site, they could use the tool to search different countries, with the colourful chart scoring the destination’s LGBTQ+ laws, rights and social sentiment. To reach the right audience in the right places, the agency created more than 100 geo-targeted Facebook ads targeting people who were interested in LGBTQ+ topics, events, and travel. The awareness campaign resulted in “Destination Pride” being the most shared and discussed communications platform in PFLAG’s 45-year history.
