ITB Berlin – around the world in one day

06:40 AM:

Our three peppers have already explored a lot of places, even though the year is still young.

The experiences in Berlin at the worlds biggest tourism expo had been a kind of fast motion world tour. Why did we even attend ITB as online advertisers? Because of our clients in the tourism industry – for which we successfully deliver campaigns for years already.

Here is the very personal travelogue of our sales mangager Selma:

11:00 AM:

Let’s go – we arrived and we are looking forward to a lot of inspirations and opportunities to make new contacts. The ITB allows us to travel all around the world within a few hours. That way we are able to visit regular clients as well as potential new clients – whose offices are usually spread out all over the world – at one location.

11:30 AM:

After a mind-boggling gate to the „tourism world“ we start where we feel homegrown – in Bavaria! Our homeland never lets us go and the digital world even less – we feel perfectly comfortable here.

Within the Bavaria Digital-Hall visitors get the chance to have a picture of them taken with an eagle and the „National Park Berchtesgarden“ in the background.

01:00 PM:

We leave our well-known terrain and start our trip to Asia. On the way we utilize the time for some interesting client appointments. With Asian music in the background we are able to relax for a bit. We really have the feeling to be in Asia, as we can smell all kinds of different culinary scents. We smell ginger, coriander, chili and other spices, while travelling from one country (appointment) to another. But our tour is not over yet, we want to continue our journey around the world… next stop Latin America!

02:30 PM:

Costa Rica: The tropical climate, the extraordinary plants in all kinds of coloration, this country is a must see! Of course the color „pepper red“ sparks our very most interest.

04:00 PM:

Now it’s time to head across the atlantic ocean to Africa. Characteristic masks and traditional dances bring us closer to African culture and spark wanderlust. In between our travels and the countless impressions we experienced intriguing lectures by National Geographic Partners and Digitaleffects as well as very successful appointments. The digital world continues to move and so do we.

05:30 PM:

Our last stop is the middle eastern world with its famous oriental hospitality. Our senior account manager Sebastian didn’t miss out on the opportunity to dress up as a bedouin for once. I spiced up the picture, even though our peppers were not quite as fresh as in the beginning.

06:00 PM:

And you won’t believe who we met at ITB! After 6 months I’m happy to meet the pepper robot again. He also seems very pleased about the reunion and wishes us a good rest of our world tour.

06:30 PM:

A long but very informative day comes to an end… We’re leaving with a lot of impressions and inspirations. Thanks a lot to ITB Berlin for the great expo!
