This is a magazine ad by Tourism Tasmania. It was part of a larger campaign designed around the central message of Tasmanians inviting others to explore their state. The campaign was targeting busy and stressed-out individuals living in cities and urban areas. The campaign included channels such as broadcasting media (TV and online Youtube ads), magazine ads, and out-of-home billboard ads.

Heading1: Sweat the sweat away

 

Heading 2: Tasmania | Come down for air

 

Paragraph caption: It gets smelly and sore around here. That's to be expected, though. Can't have world-class mountain bike trails without a few cheerfully pungent bikers. Who knew flying downhill could work up such a sweat? Either way, a shower doesn't quite cover it. So some bright soul plonked a human steam cleaner on the pond nearby. Floating Sauna Lake Derby. A big bobbing box of humidity to soak the bends and bumps away. Just so you can go and do it all over again tomorrow. But remember to wear a towel. This isn't Scandinavia.
