Our STV set-jetting campaign, in partnership with the newly launched STV Radio, went live to audiences across Scotland from Monday 19 January for the next four weeks.

Scotland’s starring role on both the big and small screen continues to capture imaginations around the world. Through a month-long competition during the Webster Drivetime Show on STV Radio, we’re encouraging listeners to connect with – and explore – the locations which showcase Scotland across film and television.

As an extension of our current autumn and winter marketing activity, through this campaign we can encourage our residents, and visitors, to explore new destinations and rediscover old favourites throughout the year.

Working in collaboration with STV Radio to promote regional spread, will help spread visitor spend beyond the traditional peak season and brings lasting benefits to communities across Scotland.​

Radio competition

The campaign will air daily, during the Webster Drivetime Show for four weeks (Monday to Friday). Across the 20 radio slots, the campaign will broadcast live competition rounds, where listeners are invited to guess the Scottish film or television location from the day’s clue for a chance to win a mini-break in Scotland.

The power of screen tourism

Screen tourism continues to be a powerful motivator for travel. Audiences around the world are inspired to visit locations they’ve seen on TV and in films, turning fiction into real-life experiences.​

In Scotland, this trend drives measurable impact: from increased visitation to iconic and hidden locations, to higher visitor spend, extended seasons, and opportunities for local destinations to showcase their unique stories. ​

Recent research particularly highlights the economic and cultural tourism impact of popular TV shows such as Outlander and The Traitors.
