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.

Introducing the Rimmel website platform

Pairing cutting edge technology with stunning creative, creating a global platform for Rimmel that cements them as best-in-class

Overview

We’ve been working with Coty for a number of years, and are currently Rimmel London’s global digital agency. Our remit is wide and varied, and our very first project back in 2012/13 was to completely overhaul their online web presence. Here we talk about that project…

Objective

Rimmel products are available in over 20+ markets, spanning 15+ languages. We were tasked with designing and building the brand a digital platform which would cement Rimmel as ahead of the curve across their markets, creating an engaging and consistent brand experience along the way.

Approach

Our “mobile-first” ethos has allowed create a mobile friendly experience, with content prioritised appropriately. The new site has been built with mobile and tablet use firmly in mind. We’ve provided Rimmel with a cross-platform compatible experience, ensuring all users are presented with the same information as those who visit using a desktop browser.

To bring a feature-rich experience to the fans, we’ve integrated with a wealth of 3rd party systems including CheetahMail (for email marketing and data capture), BazaarVoice (for product reviews and ratings), Where2GetIt (retail outlet locator) and DailyMakeover - Virtual Makeover (try on products by uploading a photo or taking one with your webcam).

To enable the user to refine the vast product range that Rimmel offer we’ve integrated a technology called Isotope. Isotope makes browsing and filtering a far more impressive experience, and really gives the WOW factor, showing off the products to full effect.

Key features

 - Mobile responsive theme, with optimised content for mobile and tablet browsing

 - Try before you buy with Virtual Makeover 

 - Rimmel Buzz for the latest news, competitions and street style

 - Integration with 3rd-party APIs

 - Products reviews and commenting

 - Aggregation of Twitter/Facebook/Facebook social media platforms

The future

Pairing cutting edge technology with stunning creative, we’ve created a global platform for Rimmel that cements them as best-in-class.

We’ve created a platform using Drupal within which we can roll out additional market websites in their local language. An international team of content editors have full control over their individual market's website.

We continue to work with Rimmel on their global digital strategy.
