The Digital Content Marketing Program enables Tourism Nova Scotia to collaborate with communities, tourism organizations and businesses to promote Nova Scotia. We capture enticing photos and videos that help make people feel excited about travelling in Nova Scotia and use them in digital marketing campaigns. Watch some highlights from our work in 2022-23 to see what we can accomplish when we work together.

Created in partnership with Discover Halifax, this video explores what makes Halifax a spectacular place from the perspective of locals. The video was used in social media ads on both Tourism Nova Scotia’s and Discover Halifax’s channels. During the shoot, we were also able to capture images and b-roll that are used throughout our marketing materials and available to our tourism partners to use in their marketing. The Digital Content Marketing Program creates partnerships that support both regional and provincial marketing initiatives.

This list-style video uses content captured through shoots with several Digital Content Marketing Partners, including Discover Halifax, Destination Eastern and Northumberland Shores, Pictou Lodge, The Municipality of East Hants, Parks Canada Cape Breton, and Develop Nova Scotia. It was cut for social media and used in Tourism Nova Scotia’s digital marketing campaigns to highlight the incredible beaches found throughout the province. Our partners received content specific to their communities, while also being included in our broader content. When you participate in the Digital Content Marketing Program, you have an opportunity to have your content featured in our ads, giving you more visibility.

This short video highlighting visitor experiences at Joggins Fossil Cliff was used for Tourism Nova Scotia digital ads. The video was produced by Tourism Nova Scotia’s marketing agency of record, and made available to the Joggins Fossil Institute. Great content created through the program allows us to showcase Nova Scotia’s unique attractions and gives our partners quality images and videos to use in their marketing.
