Describe the use of data, or how the data enhanced the campaign output

Promoting destinations where people actually want to go, helped us that they will want to hop onto a plane as soon as possible. A digital billboard that encourages people to travel and discover exciting places all over the world. Inside our campaign, it became a real wanderlust accelerator with that special Lufthansa twist.

Why is this work relevant for Media?

To create the first real-time audience- and behavioural-centred out-of-home campaign, we promote the most popular travel destinations for each city within a smart out-of-home campaign. We dynamically combine search queries of our designated target group with current price information and Lufthansa’s flight schedules and put them into context with data publically available such as traffic and mobility information for each and every city to show them that – thanks to Lufthansa – their dream destination is just around the corner.

Background

Traditionally, the campaign for international long haul flights is the most important in the entire marketing year of any big airline such as Lufthansa. Thus, Lufthansa reaches out with targeted and customized online campaigns and a wide coverage in classic print media. But how to reach people on the streets with the message, that their individual dream destination is just one little step away from reality?

Describe the creative idea/insights

During a cold European or Central American winter, it’s something we’ve all thought about: What if I simply took a different turn today? Boarded a plane – and just left? To make this thought a reality, Lufthansa has provided an international out-of-home campaign with a smart, digital super brain, targeting exactly the needs of the people in each city and during each period of the day.

Describe the strategy

Instead of creating a few out-of-home motifs, we created a dynamic system so customized, so real time and so targeted, actual online banners looked old fashioned. For the first time, we created an algorithm that easily adapts and extents campaigns to any worldwide WallDecaux display network for mass communication.

Follow the Plan generated one Million incremental sales!
