Most viewed Facebook Live video success

We’re excited to have landed in The Drum's top 20 most viewed branded Facebook Live videos of 2016! 

The video, which shot in at #9, was filmed back in July for our client Thomas Cook Airlines. It featured a surprise performance by Danny Beard to launch the airline’s partnership with Manchester Pride 2016. The video shows Danny’s dramatic entrance and song as passengers check into their flights at Manchester Airport on a Monday morning. 

It was the first time the brand had used Facebook Live video and the colourful performance helped it be a viral success. Within minutes of going live, the video was featured on Reddit and was shared across multiple channels, which contributed to over 228,000 views and 5,437 interactions. 

You can sing along to Danny Beard's amazing performance here.

Just landed: #CatsOnAPlane

We’ve just launched our latest social campaign for Thomas Cook Airlines to promote their ‘You Deserve Better’ mantra.

Cats may be furry and cute but they’re professional, demanding and used to getting their way. 

Tom Morey, Senior Group Marketing Manager at Thomas Cook Airlines, said: “No-one can assess comfort like a cat. They’re the hardest customers to please, which is why we wanted to test our new interiors with the best. And the results left the cautious kitties feline great.”

Our #CatsOnAPlane campaign consists of a series of films featuring 10 distinctive cats showcasing the comfort and service on offer from the airline (and its German sister airline, Condor).

The first in a series of ads shows a contemptible cat mellow its views on air travel. The campaign rolls out in the UK and Germany to inform viewers that they “deserve better” when going on holiday.

Cats are the undisputed champions of the internet. They’re fussy, demanding and know exactly what they want.

Jonathan Smith, Catch's Managing Director, added: "Cats are the undisputed champions of the internet. They’re fussy, demanding and know exactly what they want. What better way to put the airline’s service to the test. We love working with the team at Thomas Cook Airlines, they're fearless and you can't ask for more than that in a client."

Filmed on 2 planes, with 10 cats and over a gruelling 24 hours - This campaign and production was one of our most ambitious to date. We were literally herding cats.
