Opportunities for Everyone

Mo Lá Foirfe - My Perfect Day

My Perfect Day / Mo Lá Foirfe is a unique campaign designed by Kerry Tourism Industry Federation to share the authentic, soulful, sustainable, slower-paced experiences of Kerry with audiences in Ireland, the UK, and beyond — to drive consideration for travel to Kerry between September to October. Our fellow Marketing Kerry partners of Kerry County Council and Tech Industry Alliance are contributing to this initiative, making this a true collaboration across the county.

We're asking you, the locals, the content creators, businesses to share what your "perfect day" in Kerry looks like — through reels, stories, and posts. Your post can be the present day or it can be of a cherished memory!

If you have any questions about the campaign or wish to get involved and speak to our team, contact Girmante Plotnikova of Kerry Tourism Industry Federation on hello@discoverkerry.com. We will be posting content across our social media platforms, creating new blogs, signposting our audience to existing content on the Discover Kerry website, and sharing your content, whether from your direct submissions to Girmante, or via sharing your posts. Thank you for getting involved, and if you need additional assets for use in your business, to get visitors involved, let us know!
