RTO7 choose Seventyeight Digital for a third project. RTO7, using their new consumer focused brand of BruceGreySimcoe, wanted to create a contest targeting past visitors to the region by asking them for their stories, photos and vidoes captured in the region. In return BruceGreySimcoe was offering up a range of prizes and giving entrants the ability to feature the story on brucegreysimcoe.com.

A secondary goal of the project was to build anticipation about the coming consumer website, which will also be built by 78, and other RTO7 initiatives occurring later in the year.
