Oil Patch Bits: Explore Fairbanks unveils destination marketing video

Explore Fairbanks announced that it has unveiled its new destination marketing video at the 2014 Alaska Tourism Industry Assoc. conference.

The video incorporates summer and winter images, a host of Fairbanks locals, various modes of transportation, places to visit and an assortment of activities, dining and more.

The 3 minute 41 second video artfully and energetically highlights the many qualities that define Fairbanks, the Interior, Denali National Park and the Arctic. A local band, Young Fangs provided the background music for the video, performing their song “Show Me the Way” and is also featured.

“I’ve been fascinated by the mystique of Interior Alaska for years, everything from the landscapes and wildlife to the aurora borealis. … I consider Fairbanks to be my second home and I can’t thank Explore Fairbanks enough for trusting me to help them share the region with the rest of the world,” said director and producer Joseph Sliker of Gah! Films.

The original video will be used to market Fairbanks and the region to potential visitors via the website, through multiple social media outlets, during events and more. Additionally the video will be used to attract and inform a wide variety of stakeholders and visitor industry professionals such as tour operators, meeting planners, airline executives, travel agents and media.
