Rio Olympics wrapping up, Heart of Denmark still a party [PHOTOS, VIDEOS]

Denmark is still making a splash on Ipanema Beach —and the internet —with its 2016 Rio Olympics hospitality house, Heart of Denmark.

”We’re tapping into brand-new features on Snapchat and Instagram and have a number of other SoMe [social media] activities lined up at the Danish pavilion too, in order to create a buzz and boost the coverage of Denmark,” content digital manager of VisitDenmarkDonna Sandahl Sørensen said. “We set a goal to engage, share and communicate with our guests, the media and a worldwide audience, and this approach has gone down really well. Even the media have made a note our pavilion’s many SoMe activities and of our strategic use of SoMe in the Heart of Denmark initiative.”
