(26/8/2019) Last chance to be a #freofoodie winner

This week is the last chance to win a gourmet night out in Freo as part of the City of Fremantle’s latest destination marketing campaign.

The #freofoodie competition can be entered by simply spending $20 or more at any participating Freo café, bar, restaurant or pub for a chance to win a $500 voucher to spend on a #freofoodie feast.

Look out for the #freofoodie map in participating venues and ask for your unique codeword to enter online on the Freofoodie page of the visitfremantle.com website.

A total of $5000 worth of prizes has been on offer, with the final two winners to be drawn on Monday 2 September.

Week three winner Matthew Hardwick entered the #freofoodie competition during birthday festivities at the Esplanade Hotel.

“I came in to celebrate my birthday and got the best present of the day,” Mr Hardwick said.

Rebecca Penney and her partner won a $500 voucher after visiting the Whisper Wine Bar on Essex Street and staff encouraged them to enter the competition.

The couple from Melbourne were in Fremantle for work commitments and had a great time working their way through the list of more than 60 participating businesses on their own bespoke foodie tour of Fremantle.

To accompany the #freofoodie competition the City of Fremantle has also produced a series of videos featuring chefs from some of Freo’s top restaurants including Manuka Woodfire Kitchen, Propeller and Madalena’s bar - which has just been nominated for Gourmet Traveller’s ‘best new restaurant of the year’ award.

The #freofoodie promotion is the latest campaign to be rolled out by the City of Fremantle as part of our Destination Marketing Strategic Plan and the ‘This is Fremantle’ brand. It aims to generate visitation to Fremantle during one of the quietest off-peak months of the year.

This latest campaign will utilise digital and radio platforms to raise awareness of Fremantle as a winter dining destination and guide visitors to the visitfremantle.com website and social media channels.

The radio component of the campaign will be delivered via Nova 93.7. It follows two campaigns delivered earlier in the year that generated over half a million video views and an increase in website traffic to visitfremantle.com of over 100 per cent.

There is still time for businesses to sign up as part of the campaign. If you are interested in participating in the campaign as a business please contact [email protected]
