Description of Ambient execution
Challenge
Find a low-budget way of communicating to travellers and to a wider audience of potential buyers that BudgetAir.nl sells the cheapest plane tickets, guaranteed.
Solution
We sent several promotor-travellers to the airport of Amsterdam, wearing provocative T-shirts. The objective: evoking jealousy among all other travellers. Even the passengers on the planes were informed. All flight long.
Result
Hundreds of travellers got the message directly, at the airport and on the planes. Additionally, thousands of people read about the promotion in on- and offline free publicity. BudgetAir.nl experienced record sales in december 2009, when the ambient promotion was carried out.
