Cuilcagh Boardwalk

Brand & Website Development

Delivering a digital conservation solution for Ireland’s Stairway To Heaven.

Brief

The Sheridan family, the third-generation owners of the Cuilcagh Boardwalk approached Mitso to help develop Cuilcagh Boardwalk’s first ever brand identity, and to create a new online car park booking system as part of renewed conservation efforts to protect the Boardwalk for generations to come.

Goals

A new booking system

Build a new user-friendly website, offering a new consumer touchpoint for the brand and facilitating online bookings

Generate awareness of conservation efforts

Design and deliver assets to disseminate information about conserving the Cuilcagh Lakelands to visitors

Community and stakeholder engagement

Engage local councils, media, tourism bodies and partners to build support for conservation efforts

Build an official online presence

Help spread the important message to help Keep Cuilcagh Beautiful through the management of social media channels and organic social content

Solution

Mitso began by creating new brand concepts for the Boardwalk, considering its history and heritage and the Insta-worthy tourist landmark it has grown to be. The new brand scheme pays homage to the earthy tones of the natural landscape and new brand guidelines were rolled out across Cuilcagh’s new online booking platform and social channels to create a consistent brand presence.

We created a bespoke, functional and user-friendly online customer booking system to enable the Sheridan family to easily manage car park bookings and footfall on the Boardwalk during busy seasons

Mitso also managed a digital and PR launch campaign to generate mass awareness of the new system and to promote its core conservation message, engaging with key stakeholders at Fermanagh & Omagh District Council and Cuilcagh Lakelands to amplify the message across their own channels.

We also made the 11km trek once or twice ourselves to capture new high-quality photography and videography assets for use across website, social media and brand collateral.
