Waimangu Volcanic Valley

The Challenge

Located in Rotorua, Waimangu Volcanic Valley is the world’s youngest geothermal park. Visitors to the valley can enjoy unique geothermal walking trails, and boat cruises on the historic Lake Rotomahana.

Waimangu first approached Dubzz in 2018, immediately following a recent rebrand. They wanted to utilise the online space to increase brand awareness, push online bookings and grow visitor numbers.

Our Approach

Dubzz recommended using Social Media, Google Ads and Search Engine Optimisation to achieve Waimangu’s business goals. We implemented a digital marketing strategy using these tools which focused on reaching their target audiences with relevant messaging, growing public perception, increasing website traffic and driving action.

More recently, Waimangu has shown some impressive innovation as a tourism business in the post COVID-19 era. Likewise, we have also had to adapt our online marketing strategy to support their new business goals. Waimangu Volcanic Valley

Testimonial

We have enjoyed working with Dubzz over the last few years, and of late they have helped us manage a challenging time with COVID impacting our tourism business. I’ve found the Dubzz team to be professional, responsive to our needs, and supportive of the goals of our business.
