Corner Brook, Newfoundland

Experience Qalipu partnered with Monogram to shape an immersive visitor experience at Deer Lake Airport. One that welcomes travellers onto Indigenous land with context, care and clarity, while spotlighting Qalipu’s culture, stories and destination experiences.

The Ask

Experience Qalipu is a Mi’kmaq-led tourism initiative that connects visitors with the culture, stories and landscapes of the Qalipu First Nation, while helping Indigenous tourism operators develop and promote authentic experiences. Through a partnership with the Deer Lake Airport Authority, Experience Qalipu wanted to create an immersive visitor experience that identified the Indigenous land and heritage, educated visitors, and promoted Qalipu destination experiences.

The Approach

Monogram developed a cohesive visual and content strategy for the airport arrivals area, using high-impact graphics and storytelling to reach travellers at the moment of arrival. The work included environmental graphics, print, digital assets and an animated brand video. This was supported by a targeted paid and organic social strategy designed to extend the experience beyond the airport and throughout peak tourism season.

The Results

Monogram completed the following deliverables for Experience Qalipu:

  • Digital video signage
  • Pole flags
  • Promotional video
  • Social media strategy and content
  • Tri-fold brochure
  • Wall murals

Monogram helped Gitxaala Nation turn a year of achievement into a report worth reading. The result was a clear, accessible annual report for 2019/20 that highlights key milestones and makes them easy for the community to engage with.

Crisis Communications Plan

As one of North America’s premier ski destinations and Canada’s second-largest ski area, Sun Peaks Resort needed a communications strategy that could keep pace with its scale.

Monogram Communications partnered with Sun Peaks to build a Best Practices Guide for Crisis Communications, equipping the team to protect relationships before, during and after a crisis hits.

Awareness Campaign

The launch of the Kulspai Learning Village called for more than a communications campaign; it required a thoughtful approach that honoured community values while engaging future partners. K5T (Kitselas Five Tier) partnered with Monogram Communications to help make that vision a reality.
