Continental Airlines
[/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row no_margin=”true” class=”no-padding”][vc_column width=”1/3″]Situation
Continental Airlines turned to us in the midst of a heated competition for soon to be granted non-stop international air routes. Continental’s proposed New York to Shanghai option was complicated by the lack of an Open Skies agreement with China and required Department of Transportation (DoT) approval.
[/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″]Strategy
We developed a dynamic strategic messaging strategy focused on the unique economic opportunities that only a New York to Shanghai route could foster and the complete lack of non-stop service between the two commercial centers. An in-house DoT television network provided a unique opportunity to present that message in video form to the precise target audience that would make the decision.
[/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″]Outcome
Our ad campaign and strategic messaging carried the day. Continental Airlines was awarded the route and became the sole non-stop carrier covering the 7,000 miles between New York and Shanghai.
