In celebration of 2017 as Georgia’s “year of film,” the marketing team from Explore Georgia invited Visit Savannah’s digital content team to take over their Instagram story for a day and highlight a film made in Savannah. The team chose “Forrest Gump,” and highlighted Chippewa Square, Debi’s Restaurant and the Forrest character from Old Savannah Tours. The Instagram story was viewed by more than 10,000 people in less than 24 hours. It also linked back to Visit Savannah’s social media accounts, resulting in increased traffic and new followers.
