In its #MYMICROGAP campaign scheduled to run through October, VisitEngland is displaying photos and videos on digital billboards across the UK promoting domestic gap-year activities that can be undertaken by young people over a period of just a few days.
Campaign also uses 30-second videos on social-media channels, online display and TV.
