Antigua & Barbuda Tourism Authority
Two islands, under a single flag, so lush and exquisite that it’s difficult to do them justice in words alone. The Antigua & Barbuda Tourism Authority came to Paragraph in need of help conveying this beauty to the North American market. Through careful research and a close partnership, we began to understand what made the twin islands different. This understanding took shape as we articulated their visual and verbal position, identity, and marketing initiatives. The twin islands are now well-equipped to connect with prospective visitors. Helping people feel the sand on their feet and the sun on their face? All in a day’s work.
