Brand Awareness for Japan’s largest and only 5 Star Airline

The Brief.

On the 4th of June 2024, we attended IAB’s flagship event, Engage, held at The Soho Place Theatre. This year’s event was all about celebrating the joy of digital, an uplifting theme that really resonated with us. From the Joy of Connection to the Joy of Collaboration, the Joy of Weird to the Joy of Impact, the industry’s biggest names shared why they are unapologetically optimistic about the future of digital, and why we should be too.

Target discerning travellers

Travellers are more than just numbers to ANA. With no
word for ‘customer’ in Japanese – everyone is a guest
– an audience first approach was once again essential.
It was important not only to raise awareness of the
London/Tokyo route but also to illustrate the quality
of service provided by the airline. Business travellers
were targeted across London using high impact media
formats in areas identified by our audience research as
being business-based environments. This was supported
by relevant and corresponding online targeting.

Finely-tuned luxury travel

ANA has become the authentic voice of the nation. Specific targeting of discerning business travellers helped
raise awareness for the airline, selling the true Japan as
a destination to the luxury leisure market. By putting potential travellers at the centre of the airline’s offering, The
Media People’s approach dovetailed perfectly with the
core values of ANA. Our highly targeted, finely-tuned
strategy sits at the heart of everything we do for ANA,
even at 30,000ft
