What is Brand Victoria?
Brand Victoria is a Victorian government initiative to position the State as a destination of choice for international students, investors, skilled migrants and tourists.
Brand Victoria is a Victoria government initiative that aims to build a strong and meaningful identity for Melbourne and Victoria and ensure the ongoing success of our State.
We mean to achieve this by positioning the State as a destination of choice for international students, investors, skilled migrants and tourists.
The creative rationale for the State brand is built around the characteristics of Melbourne and Victoria. As is the case with a good book, where depth and complexity are experienced through evolving layers, the more you become engaged with the city or the State, the more it reveals itself to you.
In the competitive international environment a cohesive approach to communicating the unique characteristics, values and personality of Melbourne and Victoria is critical to destination and business success.
