Two new ad campaigns are encouraging Nova Scotians and Maritimers to get out and enjoy the best of wintertime fun and flavours. Featuring packages developed by our partners, as well as the coolest winter adventures, these ads prove that Nova Scotia is a great place to explore in all seasons!

Our research shows that travellers in the Maritime provinces are most likely to travel in Nova Scotia during the winter months, so this is the region where we are focusing on for our winter campaigns. 

Calling All Doers – New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island

The winter ads in our Calling All Doers campaign take people to novascotia.com/wintergetaway where they can find packages, experiences, dining and accommodations for an awesome winter getaway in Nova Scotia. The ads are running in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island from January 8 to March 31, 2023. Tactics include YouTube video, TV streaming apps, social media, digital display, Google ads, and digital audio on Podcasts on the ACAST and CBC networks.
