The Ask

Increase Destination Canada’s brand equity among key audiences with a focus on meaning and uniqueness.

The Solution

Through a first-ever editorial partnership, the Afar editorial team collaborated with Destination Canada leaders on story ideas and developed a yearlong content calendar uncovering the hidden narratives of Canada’s provinces, from British Columbia to Newfoundland and Labrador. By blending award-winning storytelling with cultural insights, the editorial series provided a curated, in-depth look at the places, cultures, and communities that shape the nation’s identity. The content was distributed across digital, audio, email, social, and print, maximizing destination awareness while elevating Canada’s perception as a place of profound meaning, radical openness, and untapped discovery.
