Frommer’s Unlimited and Virgin Media Announce New Travel Guide

< back
July 2008 - London

Frommer’s® Unlimited has announced a partnership with Virgin Media, the UK’s largest residential broadband provider, to provide a new travel guide for its website - virginmedia.com. This new in-depth destination guide offers a whole range of travel content, from city guides to travel videos.

Virginmedia.com is currently the tenth most visited website in the UK, and the new travel guide from Frommer’s Unlimited will play a key role in expanding on the portal’s existing variety of content. The travel guide also aims to drive traffic through e-commerce meta-search partner Travelsupermarket and offer a one-stop shop for travel enthusiasts.

Joel Brandon-Bravo of Frommer’s Unlimited said: “The key to answering this brief was to augment existing content on the travel section of virginmedia.com with a unique combination of events, destination guides including ski and resort guides, airport guides and travel videos. The new site delivers just that and will allow Virgin Media to attract new travel customers through natural search. This project mirrors the trend we’ve seen amongst both our retained and project-basis clients to invest in content creation.”

Alex Green, Virgin Media’s managing director of portal, commented: “We are thrilled to be working with [Frommer’s Unlimited] for our new travel guide for virginmedia.com. They have demonstrated that they have an extensive knowledge and understanding of the online travel industry and were able to integrate with our site seamlessly.”
