(Los Angeles/Bonn/Köln, 18.11.2022) Vom 14. bis zum 16. November veranstaltete UNIWORLD erstmals ein Vertriebsevent in Paris für Reiseverkäufer*innen aus Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz. Begrüßt wurden die 90 Expedient*innen in der Stadt der Liebe an Bord des Boutique-Schiffes S.S. Joie de Vivre. Dort hatten sie nicht nur die Möglichkeit, das Luxusschiff hautnah zu erleben und kennenzulernen, sondern konnten auch bei einem abwechslungsreichen Programm neue Erkenntnisse für den erfolgreichen Verkauf des Produktes im eigenen Büro gewinnen.

Ein abwechslungsreiches Programm der Reederei, sowie ergänzende Workshops mit exklusiven Partnern wie TEFRA Gepäckservice, HanseMerkur Reiseversicherung und Ponant Kreuzfahrten machten die Veranstaltung zu einem vollen Erfolg. Auf zwei verschiedenen Ausflügen hatte eine Auswahl der Vertriebspartnerinnen die Möglichkeit, die Umgebung und das Landprogramm der Reederei zu erkunden. Beide Ausflüge sind für die UNIWORLD Gäste auf ihrer Reise im Preis inkludiert. So konnten die Teilnehmenden das UNIWORLD All-Inclusive Versprechen genauso erleben, wie es auch ihre Kundinnen tun würden. Das Abendprogramm sorgte ebenfalls für gute Stimmung. An Bord spielten eine Live-Band sowie ein DJ und ein besonderes Highlight war die Roaring 20s Party, auf der der Stil der „Goldenen Zwanziger“ zelebriert wurde. Dieser findet sich auch in einigen Details an Bord der Joie de Vivre wieder.
„Wir sind sehr glücklich, dass wir unseren Vertriebspartner*innen erstmals ein Uniworld Schiff und die einzigartige Philosophie der Produkte live an Bord präsentieren konnten.“, erklärt Bettina Zwickler, Generalagentur DACH für Uniworld und Inhaberin des Passage-Kontor Kapitän P. Henssel aus Schwentinental in der Nähe von Kiel.

Selling luxury travel means selling more than services – it means selling desire. And to market it successfully, you need more than a curated portfolio: you need sophisticated marketing, a sense of style, and a deep understanding of the aspirations of a discerning clientele.
Together with LuxusInsider, the leading trade magazine in luxury tourism, we created an award that does just that: celebrating excellence in its purest form. From an idea, the Inspire Me Award was born – a stage for the best in the industry.
What did it take? A brand experience that meets the highest standards. A carefully crafted corporate brand design that speaks the language of luxury – subtle, refined, confident. A website that gives the award visibility and a digital home – for jurors, partners, and sponsors alike.
The result: a brand that doesn’t just represent the industry’s most prestigious annual event but extends an invitation to all who don’t just recognize excellence but embody it.
Period: Since November 2020
Industry: Tourism
Objective: Build a strong, premium brand identity for the Inspire Me Award and create an elegant, intuitive website that serves as a digital stage for partners, winners, and jurors – presenting the award with maximum impact.

The Challenge
Developing a brand that captures the essence of luxury – elegant and free of clichés. At the same time, creating a website that clearly communicates the award and its categories while staging it as a sought-after prestige event.
Our Approach
From the vision of creating a unique award in luxury tourism, we collaborated with LuxusInsider to develop the Inspire Me Award as a prestigious format with six clearly defined categories – supported by both an expert jury and the LuxusInsider community.
We guided the process from naming and concept development to building a sophisticated brand world: from the striking logo to cohesive brand assets and visual language. In parallel, we created a flexible website that presents the award and its categories with clarity and elegance – serving as the central stage for winners, partners, and sponsors.
The new corporate brand design was consistently rolled out and now serves as the foundation for ongoing development that meets the dynamic demands of the luxury tourism industry. In day-to-day operations, we support the award with regular content for the website and social media, as well as active sponsor acquisition, ensuring the brand grows sustainably and the event secures its place as a benchmark in the luxury sector.
The Outcome
The Inspire Me Award has established itself as a unique and credible seal of quality in luxury tourism – an award whose authenticity and high value are reinforced through genuine voting.
The clearly defined corporate brand design gives the award a distinct identity, subtly and confidently communicating luxury. The website acts as the central platform, delivering transparency and accessibility while powerfully underlining the exclusive positioning of the award.
With each edition, the Inspire Me Award comes to life as an authentic stage for outstanding achievements – a brand that builds trust and makes excellence visible.

OLIMAR Reisen is a family-owned tour operator based in Cologne, established in 1972 as a Portugal specialist. Today, the portfolio also includes carefully selected destinations such as Spain, Italy, Croatia, Greece, Cape Verde, and Malta – offering flexible travel styles ranging from beach holidays and round trips to golf and group tours. Always personally curated, with an eye for the extraordinary. Guided by the motto “Quality over Quantity,” OLIMAR focuses on personalised advice, handpicked accommodations, and authentic experiences.
Our task was to make these values even more visible on social media. Together, we developed a new content strategy with a clear focus: highlighting the diversity of destinations, building a strong community, and setting new impulses – including targeting a younger audience.
Campaign Period: Since October 2024
Industry: Tourism
Objective: To sustainably grow OLIMAR’s social media community and create a strong, cohesive brand presence with high-quality, structured content and professional templates. The focus was on targeting a younger audience – especially young couples and active travellers – with tailored content. To make the brand more relatable and tangible, we showcased authentic behind-the-scenes insights and put the OLIMAR team at the centre of selected formats.
This approach aimed to highlight not only the diversity of travel destinations but also the people behind them, fostering a personal connection with the community and positioning OLIMAR as the first choice for modern Mediterranean travellers.

The Challenge: To position OLIMAR on social media in such a way that the brand is perceived as more than a Portugal specialist – as an authentic provider of high-quality travel experiences across the Mediterranean. The challenge was to preserve the brand’s hallmark quality while appealing to a younger, digitally savvy audience without diluting its identity.
Our Approach: Close collaboration, clear structures, measurable results. We began by setting up weekly status meetings to ensure an ongoing dialogue with the client. Together, we created customised social media templates for posts and stories, finalised through close coordination. At the beginning of 2025, we jointly defined an editorial and activity plan for the first half of the year, along with a detailed budget proposal as the planning basis.
Weekly content production was strategically split: part was created in-house by OLIMAR’s team, while our agency team developed additional content – ensuring optimal capacity use, quality, and brand consistency. For consistent community management, we created a comprehensive response pool as a guideline for brand-aligned communication. Complementary activities included targeted Meta Ads, two sweepstakes, and ongoing data analysis with regular reporting to monitor performance and optimise the strategy based on insights.
Results: With tailored graphic templates and innovative content formats such as the “OLIMAR Moment,” we elevated the brand’s Instagram presence to a new level. A professional guideline ensures consistent content that is both visually appealing and perfectly aligned with the target audience.
Through carefully selected topics and engaging content, we reached a broad community and significantly increased interaction rates. Within just a few months, OLIMAR’s Instagram community grew by an impressive 30 percent. This success translated into greater reach, improved quality of user engagement, and a sustainably strengthened Instagram channel as a central brand stage. The online presence now appears even more premium, professional, and attractive – a true success factor for the brand.
For over 50 years, OLIMAR Reisen has stood for exceptional and authentic experiences in Portugal – offering the most comprehensive portfolio for the entire country. In recent years, the range has successfully expanded to Italy, Spain, Cape Verde, Croatia, Greece, and Malta. OLIMAR seamlessly blends postcard-perfect destinations with real adventures off the beaten path. To bring this unique spirit of discovery to an even wider audience, we developed a holistic lead generation campaign. Through a mobile funnel and targeted social media activities, we guided potential customers directly to the “Portugal Countryside” catalogue while increasing overall brand visibility.
Campaign Period: September 2023 – January 2024
Industry: Tourism
Objective: To acquire as many qualified end-customer leads as possible for OLIMAR Reisen through a holistic campaign that showcases the brand’s spirit of discovery and inspires new audiences with Portugal’s travel offering.

The Challenge:
In September 2023, OLIMAR Reisen launched its new “Portugal Countryside” catalogue, showcasing unique travel experiences in Portugal’s rural heartland. Building on this catalogue, the accompanying campaign aimed to significantly increase OLIMAR’s visibility among end customers and tap into new target groups – especially those who had never booked with OLIMAR before.
While OLIMAR is well-established as a Portugal specialist among travel agencies, the key challenge was to raise brand awareness directly with consumers and engage those most likely to appreciate the company’s authentic travel experiences.
Our Approach:
The first four weeks were dedicated to preparation, with the campaign launch scheduled for October. Once the budget was defined, we developed a mobile lead funnel to target and pre-qualify potential customers for catalogue requests. In parallel, we created engaging graphics based on OLIMAR’s corporate design, tailored to resonate with different audience segments through customised hooks.
After aligning on and approving the content, the campaign went live. Throughout the campaign period, results were reviewed weekly and optimised strategically – with the goal of lowering cost per lead while maximising lead volume. This was achieved through continuous, data-driven adjustments and creative fine-tuning.
Results:
Between October and January, we generated over 200 qualified addresses and dispatched the corresponding catalogues – meeting the expectations of both parties. The campaign resonated strongly with the target audience, who responded positively to all hooks.
Notably, the “gourmet traveller” segment showed particularly high engagement, accounting for over 30% of total clicks – a clear indicator of the strong potential for these travel themes within the “Portugal Countryside” offering.
From a business perspective, the campaign was also a success: with a cost per lead of under €10, the target audience was not only reached but engaged effectively.
