-Travel booking platform GetYourGuide has launched a bizarre national campaign to announce its official expansion in the U.S. to capture growth in summer travel.
Created by independent creative agency Gut Miami, GetYourGuide’s campaign encourages people to start traveling again, but does so through the crypto community. It encourages people to stop “hodling” Dogecoin to the moon (the term refers to the buy-and-hold strategy used by investors to hold on to their crytpo long-term until it’s highly profitable), and use it to book experiences on Earth instead. There are astronauts playing in the Museum of Ice Cream and actual Shiba Inu dogs being held in a rocket. See for yourself.
