A new $2.4million tourism campaign is being rolled out to encourage more Queenslanders to support the industry and its workers as part of the continued rollout of Queensland’s plan for economic recovery from COVID-19.
Tourism and Events Queensland (TEQ) has partnered with master creative agency Rumble to create the campaign, which is spearheaded by a 60 second launch commercial directed by Hailey Bartholomew, via Taxi Films.
The ‘Days Like This’ campaign features Van Morrison’s classic hit which has be re-recorded and given a distinctly Queensland feel by local musicians Tia Gostelow and Busby Marou.

Rumble creative founder Nancy Hartley said the campaign platform, ‘a beautiful way to be’ speaks to the transformational quality of a holiday in Queensland, and the enriching diversity of its experiences. “With the ongoing pandemic, traveller sentiment is ever-changing, but we all aspire to simple joys shared with people we love. ‘Days Like This’ in Queensland are the ones that connect to something deep within to create memories you’ll have with you forever.”
The campaign will be on TV, cinema, OOH, print, BVOD and social channels, and launches initially in Queensland before it is extended elsewhere in Australia and New Zealand later this year.
