Campaigns Of The Week
Airbnb X Little Concert – Local Music Experiences
Partnering with local music specialists Little Concert, Airbnb are trialing their upcoming music-based experiences with two events designed to give guests a unique look at London’s local cultures.
The first experience explores the concept of ‘urban wineries’ with a tasting tour around London Cru, the cities first, and multi-award winning, winery and music provided by Tony McHugh.
Whereas the second is a walking tour of Camden, led by local venue owner Rafael, as he guides guests through the area’s famous spots, including the canal and “the best view of London” from Primrose park. This is followed by a private performance from a local musician in Rafael’s venue.
EXAMPLE OF: A giant company constantly on the lookout to expand its offering based on consumer tastes.
Intu – Mini Ice Cream Van
In the light of new research suggesting people enjoy eating ice cream during summer (obviously), Intu have created the “world’s smallest ice cream van”, touring their centres dishing out free ice cream.
The tour plans to visit each Intu centre nationwide, the mini ice cream van forming part of Intu’s summer marketing activities, aiming to inspire happiness amongst consumers.
We love this campaign because it’s a promotional activity that isn’t promoting anything in particular, other than the Intu brand, by giving more than they take.
EXAMPLE OF: A brand responding to current research with a campaign that provides more value than it takes.
