CHALLENGE
Infinitum is one of Europe’s newest lifestyle resorts with championship golf facilities, modern gastronomy, bespoke cultural activities, and a contemporary beach club featuring state-of-the-art facilities, a tapas bar and one of the region’s best restaurants. The resort is home to three golf courses, with two designed by Former World No.1 Greg Norman, and its award-winning facilities currently play host to the European Tour’s Final Qualifying Stage.
SOLUTION
Performance54 is responsible for the overall management of the annual golf-specific PR & Communications strategy at Infinitum, focusing on the launch of the new brand in July 2021 and a number of important projects that will be undertaken over the next couple of years at the resort. A fundamental part of this strategy has been to create and activate a detailed media buying plan on behalf of Infinitum, targeting specific media publications across key target audiences including in France, Germany, and the UK, to leverage awareness for the brand. P54 has also utilised its experience in the industry to identify and position the resort within some of Europe’s most prestigious rankings through the organisation of FAM Trips and lobbying of key panellists as part of a dedicated awards and rankings strategy.
