| | 3 Comments

Air New Zealand is inviting Kiwis on a journey to see the world through a new lens, launching the next evolution of its brand through a new campaign ‘Your extraordinary adventure awaits’ developed by Bastion Shine.

 

The shift signifies a pivotal moment for the airline as it embarks on the next stage of its own journey, setting its sights on the future and redefining its role in shaping the travel aspirations of its customers.

The new campaign encapsulates Air New Zealand’s dedication to empower New Zealanders to dream big and broaden their horizons.

Air New Zealand general manager brand and marketing Jane Anthony says the campaign marks a fresh approach for the airline: “The new brand direction embodies the spirit of adventure, curiosity, and the limitless possibilities that travel brings. It is a celebration of the unique Kiwi mindset that embraces the idea that, no matter where you start, you can go on an incredible adventure.”

The heart of the campaign lies in the enchanting narrative of a father-daughter duo whose bedtime story transforms into a mesmerising journey around the globe. The storyline unravels the magic hidden within the travel journey, inspiring viewers to see the world through a new and imaginative lens.

This captivating tale captures Air New Zealand’s commitment to fostering a sense of adventure for its customers, no matter where their destination is.

Says Anthony: “’Your extraordinary adventure awaits’ serves as both an invitation and a declaration – an invitation for New Zealanders to embark on transformative journeys and a declaration of the airline’s unwavering commitment to enabling adventure.

“The campaign is more than a visual spectacle; it represents a cultural shift for Air New Zealand. After focussing on rebuilding the airline following a challenging travel period, we are signalling a shift back to facilitating the sense of wonder and excitement that travel brings.”
