The Brief

Transavia asked us to think about the launch of their rebranding without talking about the reasons why (much more political than strategic for the French market). At the same time, we wanted to go further with our solutions inspired by people's daily lives because we've talk about prices with the eBay campaign, illustrating the accessibility with a 2nd degree of thought: the easiest way to access flight tickets. So we brought the new identity as close as possible to the consumer: directly in their hands!

Campaign Success

What is more relevant than the comparison between a daily treat- indeed a snack- that you buy when you need a little break and a week-end to escape your everyday routine? Firstly, we produced the type of snack that best represents the little treats you buy when you need a break: chips, candies, cereal bars. Secondly, we became partners with the well-known French retailers that we identify with our daily routine: supermarkets where you buy your daily food, vending machines when you wait for your train. Thirdly, we implemented the products in every touch point. Lastly, we promoted this unique and new way to travel with dedicated messages near every touch point.

Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service

Nowadays, our consumers purchase their next holiday on the Internet and people are used to seeing low cost airline promotions, so how can Transavia grab their attention? We decided to leave the Internet and go closer to our target market in their everyday routine. To demonstrate that flight tickets were easy to purchase, we sold them like a snack. Our idea was to produce real snacks (chips, candies, cereal bars) with flight tickets inside and sold them in supermarkets and vending machines. This new distribution channel brings the airline as close as possible to its customers and responds to their sudden travel wishes at a guaranteed price. More than just providing an easy access to flight tickets, we turned the purchase impulsive. It is as simple as nibble here, fly there with Transavia and these new ways of purchasing flight tickets are a real phenomenon that modifies the consumer behaviour.
