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.

Take me to Japan

Partnering with All Nippon Airways to create higher level of brand penetration in the UK, France and Germany and educate consumers on the culture and beauty of Japan, whilst strengthening its connection to ANA

Objective

All Nippon Airways required an agency to support with social media strategy for its EMEA markets. The campaign brief was to develop an activation that would create a higher level of brand penetration in the UK, France and Germany.

The core objectives were:

 - Improve brand awareness in the UK, France and Germany

 - Increase ANA’s email database by the organisation’s established growth target

 - Grow the brand’s Facebook following in the UK, France and Germany by +10%

Approach

To meet ANA’s objectives, Catch launched #TakeMeToJapan; a campaign designed to capture the imagination of both new and existing fans.

The activation centred around a data capture Facebook app, which housed a prize draw for two flights to Japan with accommodation. To enter, users were asked to curate their dream experience through a series of image options. This was designed to educate consumers on the culture and beauty of Japan, whilst strengthening its connection to ANA.

Once the entry was completed, each user received an ANA branded mood board. The shareability of this strong, branded visual piece encouraged additional organic sharing via the entrants networks.

The prize draw mechanic was supported by a promotional strategy that aimed to increase both brand awareness and follower acquisition. This included:

 - Social content calendar for UK, France and Germany

 - Facebook advertising strategy

 - Partnership with the Prince Park Tower Hotel, Tokyo

 - Trigger email campaign

Results

Due to its success, the campaign is now being localised for additional EMEA markets. Key performance metrics include:
