A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Shares: The Case of Destination Canada’s Social Media Visual Storytelling Campaign
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This case is designed to assess the visual storytelling social media strategy created by Destination Canada (DC), the country’s national destination marketing organization, regarding their objective, to drive demand among international travelers, to uncover insights into how it has performed since the devastating impact of COVID-19, and how the future might unfold. DC curates and shares a variety of unique photos and videos to their Instagram page on a near-daily basis, inspiring users to connect emotionally with the brand, develop a desire to visit, and ultimately choose to travel to Canada. Despite success to date with their strategy, DC has faced unprecedented challenges in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, which have made their path forward unclear. In this case, students will draw upon visual storytelling and social media engagement concepts in tourism and marketing to examine key data related to DC’s campaign and Instagram engagement across their posts, and ultimately piece together the key information required to evaluate the effectiveness of DC’s campaign, along with where changes may be needed for DC to remain engaged with users post-pandemic.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
