    Riikka Annika Keskitalo STORYTELLING IN DESTINATION MARKETING How to use storytelling in social media marketing of True Lapland STORYTELLING IN DESTINATION MARKETING How to use storytelling in social media marketing of True Lapland Riikka Annika Keskitalo Thesis Spring 2020 International Business Oulu University of Applied Sciences ABSTRACT Oulu University of applied sciences international business Author Riikka Annika Keskitalo Title of Bachelor’s Thesis Storytelling in Destination Marketing Supervisor Outi Sutinen, Topi Haapasalo Term and year of completion Spring 2020 Number of Pages 41+15 The aim of this thesis was to find ways to enhance social media marketing of a nature destination. True Lapland is a destination brand of Enontekiö, which is managed by a development department of the Municipality. Social media marketing is a relatively cost-effective marketing channel with remarkable reach, but only if the content is engaging. Storytelling is an ancient way for humans to entertain and deliver information, and stories are still powerful to catch our attention. This thesis finds ways to bring some storytelling techniques to the era of social media. Travel industry is one of the biggest markets in the world, also the most significant branch in Enontekiö. As the industry produces experiences, using storytelling in destination marketing was hypothetically profitable. Destination marketing and the industry’s other characteristics are shortly introduced by evaluating secondary data, academic and contemporary publications. Information about the destination bases on the interview and the workshop with True Lapland’s participants. Information is accompanied by the author’s work experience with the brand and own experience while living in the area.
