At our heart is a charming city of character in a region full of characters offering an eclectic collection of boutique experiences. It’s a culture where conservative contradicts offbeat. You’re made to feel special here, where you don’t just savour the end product; you’re given the freedom to live part of its story, to understand what you’re consuming and why it is how it is.

Our Essence
PLAYFUL ECLECTIC
QUIETLY PROUD
BOUTIQUE
Part of the Tasmania Brand Family
Northern Tasmania shares the DNA of the Tourism Tasmania brand but lives it in its own unique way that is distinctive from the other Tasmanian regions.
We are less about iconic features and more about the charming interaction we offer with an eclectic collection of unique, boutique and playful experiences.
Who and what we are as a region...

Brand Book – Tasmania’s North 12
Brutal juxtaposed with Beauty The Cataract Gorge is a classic example of an icon so naturally beautiful but more intriguing when it’s in flood. Other times things can be so brutal, yet have an air of poetry in motion. Examples include V8 Supercars at Simmons Plains, an AFL Hawks game at Aurora or the brutalist Henty House in Civic Square.
Offbeat and Conservative Keeping with the Tasmanian masterbrand of contradiction Northern Tasmania is known as the launchpad for many things yet retains an underlying conservatism that can easily be found and delighted in. So retro it’s back in again!
You’ll get this in retro and vintage shops like The Umbrella Shop, the ticketwriter at Neil Pitts, quirky coffee shops, painted cows, Glover Art Prize, Coal Shovelling Championships at Fingal, Evandale Markets, Design Centre Tasmania and the National Automobile Museum.
Seductively Disarming Places where you’re intrigued and drawn but slightly on edge, excited about what unfolds next but anxious about the unknown. Examples include Junction Arts Festival, the sniffer dog at the airport, Hollybank Treetops Adventure, Launceston’s laneways, Jacob’s Ladder, Historic Homes, Mole Creek Caves, The Sideling, Leaning Church Vineyard and Mountain Bike Trails.
Bigger on the Inside (punch above their weight) It’s the excitement of something that is perceived as boutique but is actually full of experiences with a natural talent to punch above its weight. Examples include Agfest, Harvest Market, Tasmanian Craft Fair, Barnbougle & Lost Farm, Bridestowe Lavender Farm, National Rose Garden, Boags Brewery, Small shop fronts - deep stores and the University of Tasmania at the top 2% in the world.

Our Target
When we visualise our audience as a group of like-minded people, we can target our communications in a more focused, relevant and engaging way.
They are primarily couples, who travel regularly, are socially and environmentally aware and health conscious.
They prefer less crowded, more interesting holidays; will try new things and pay for quality.
Brand Book – Tasmania’s North 15
Brand Positioning
We call our target life long learnersThey are inquisitive and on a personal journey. They seek out new, enriching experiences that help them explore the world and themselves, as well as shared experiences that bond them with their partner.
Brand Book – Tasmania’s North 14
Brand Book – Tasmania’s North 17
We are original, off beat and quirky rather than contrived or trite.
We are warm and charming rather than slick and clinical.
We are full of meaningful insights rather than meaningless superlatives.
We believe in using the truth rather than glossing over it.
We gain style through substance not the other way around.
We use wit and humorous anecdotes rather than ‘boom-tish’ gags.
We tell a story with a wry smile rather than scream offers in desperation
How the brand feels and sounds...
Brand Book – Tasmania’s North 16 Caption here Caption here
In keeping with our personality, we have a quiet assurance, drawing people in with what we reveal rather than beating our own drum.
To convey the North’s Brand:
• tell the story or hint at the story – the story of the experience, the story behind the experience (how you came to be here/doing this, passion for place, local connections …), the story beyond the experience (does it link to an ongoing experience in another town or region or country? How?).
• mix ‘small picture’ with big picture – the sense of Aboriginal ancestors in Fairy Dell; the yacht moored at the bottom of the vineyard; the dam that burst and destroyed a tin mining town; why wood sings at a design centre; the man behind a 100-year-old brewery.
• play with contradiction – a leaning church that’s turning heads; a gorge minutes from a GPO; lavender cheese; convicts who made good; maritime highs and lows; family farming dynasties vs new food entrepreneurs; triumphs and heartache past and present; rogues (bushrangers, Irish exiles) and heroes.
Language

• reveal through examples – not just gourmet produce but organic herbs, truffles, cherries, honey or other specific examples; not just wildlife but “Little Penguins come to you”; not just living heritage but “an early century umbrella shop” or “a World Heritage colonial working farm”.
• highlight ‘boutique’ by emphasising the views of others in the know – use awards, comments by critics or journalists, quotes from judging citations to showcase quality, talent or exclusiveness in relation to the wine, food or experience.

Typography Style
Brand Book – Tasmania’s North 20 Brand Book – Tasmania’s North 21
Our photographic style needs to align with the direction for Tasmania as a whole. The aim is to capture the real essence of our region and include at least two of the four brand attributes of eclectic, boutique, playful or quietly proud.
The style should capture ‘that’ moment when the emotion is at a high. Rather than a landscape by itself, we have a point of interest in the foreground. Storytelling needs to be a heart of all photography, after all, a picture paints a thousand words…
Our brand fonts align to the fonts for Tasmania as a whole. Please note, creative expression / campaign typography and font usage can differ but again need to reflect our difference and personality.

Primary Colour Palette
These colours are our base colours. They are the colours we should use when we want to create some impact or add weight to a page.
They are bold enough to work in headlines and subheads.
Although bold and rich, they are also natural at their core.
There is real earthiness to them and a hint of regalness, almost nautical or first fleet.Secondary Colour Palette
The secondary palette is a gentler version of the primary palette and will allow us to pepper colour throughout our marcoms and reflect the softer side of Tasmania, the food, cheese, wines, flowers alike.
