16. Learnings
HYPOTHESIS
Established markets
should be shown
different things than
emerging markets
LEARNING
INCORRECT
There are important
differences across
markets, but no one
way to separate them

17. Learnings
OLD ASSUMPTION
Landmarks
are cliché
HYPOTHESIS
Landmarks provide
recognition; people
want to see them
LEARNING
CORRECT
Across all markets,
travelers like to see
familiar icons most

18. Learnings
OLD ASSUMPTION
Featuring people
will add warmth
and improve
effectiveness
LEARNING
INCORRECT
People are important
for context for activities, but
all shots centering on people
did not perform well

19. Learnings
HYPOTHESIS
Travelers are
experiential and
therefore will like
to see food
LEARNING
INCORRECT
Every shot relating to food/dining
was disliked. Advertising and
content strategies are different
