Summer 2023 campaign
A summer travel push for the airline and its Holidays by flydubai arm, run across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain. Creative was refreshed in-house with illustrated seasonal destination art and carried on lamppost and bridge-banner outdoor in Dubai, online and GCC radio, with a Virgin Radio UAE slot where every caller won a holiday for two to Thailand and an ice cream truck activation at JBR and City Walk.
- The brief
- Travellers across the GCC planning summer trips, the airline's peak season for selling flights and holidays.
- The idea
- The in-house team redrew summer creative with seasonal destination illustrations, run on Dubai lampposts and bridges, online and radio, plus a Virgin Radio slot giving every caller a Thailand trip for two.
- What to borrow
- Guaranteeing a prize to every caller makes a radio partnership a live demonstration of the holiday product on sale.
