Creative Execution

We decided to talk to Parisians so we created a stunt in the heart of Paris. We used a billboard, which is the main media used by transavia.com to communicate to its target. We shooted the event and created a viral video, pushed by some digital media buying: True View on YouTube, a Youtube Masthead and a strong p.r. campaign around it.

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

transavia.com is a low cost airline company of the AirFrance KLM group, flying to many destinations for very cheap prices. To challenge big competitors that have better notoriety, we needed to prove that our tickets are very cheap. The target was people living in Paris, due to the fact that transavia.com flights leave mainly from Paris Orly airport. The challenge was to change Parisians behaviour. Due to economic crisis in fact more and more Parisians tend to spend their short breaks and weekends at home in Paris instead of flying on holiday. We wanted to point out that Paris is the second most expensive city in the world, and spending time there could be much more expensive than flying on holiday. Especially with the cheap transavia.com tickets.
