-Bermuda is embracing the whole triangle myth with its latest tourism campaign. The Bermuda Tourism Authority (BTA) has launched “Lost Yet Found,” a wide-ranging multimedia marketing initiative that highlights Bermudian experiences—and entices visitors to dive deeper into the island’s culture. The result will shed light on the Bermudian way of life, making a vacation on the island a richer and more rewarding journey. It leans into the mystery of Bermuda with a triangle logo, but it invites people to find the island for themselves and the activities, people, cuisine and experiences that speak to them. While the BTA marketing team is mostly Bermudian, the authority worked with Boston-based agency Proverb and Burnt House Productions.
