5 Wonderfully Narrated Ads by Real Belizeans That Will Make You Want To Visit This Curious Place Now

When most of us hear 'Caribbean,' we picture couples on white sand beaches or at all-inclusive resorts, rum cocktails in-hand. But in their newest campaign, 'A Curious Place,' creative agency Olson and the BTB set out to position this fun, adventurous country as exactly that — a place you'll leave with stories to tell. The spots highlight the character (and characters) of the strange but wonderful country — from Coconut Leo to Mayan cacao farmer Eladio Pop — all narrated by a real-life Belizean tour guide.

While this is not the first campaign Olson and the BTB have done together — their past work led to a 2.24% increase in the country's GDP — this is the first campaign to launch under the agency's new leadership team, led by CCO Kevin McKeon.
