Stand Alone Advertising Program

Stand Alone Advertising Program

Tourism Queensland’s Stand Alone Advertising Program offers Central Queensland tourism operators who wish to promote leisure tourism product to the domestic market the opportunity to book their advertising through Tourism Queensland at media rates negotiated by Tourism Queensland.

Known as "TQ media rates", these rates vary depending on the type of media, timing and activity and in general provide considerable savings. Operators can book advertising in their choice of media, such as newspapers, magazines, online and television.

To participate, tourism operators are required to include specified Queensland branding elements in their advertisement design.

How you benefit:

• Achieve greater consumer recognition of your product by linking your advertising with Queensland’s brand campaign activity.
• Save by booking your advertising with Tourism Queensland at the specially negotiated TQ media rates.
• Complimentary media planning advice.

Stand Alone Advertising Options

The following options are available under Queensland’s brand.

Print:

When booking press and magazine advertisements at the TQ media rate, it is a requirement that Queensland branding is incorporated in the advertisement creative in accordance with the size guidelines. Please note that the TQ media rate is not available for print advertisements smaller than 10cm x 2 columns.

Digital:

Tourism Queensland has now extended its Stand Alone Advertising Program to the on line environment. The TQ Digital Advertising Plan offers a range of opportunities on prominent media sites at extremely competitive TQ media rates. A new TQ Digital Advertising proposal will be available soon.
