Brief Explanation
When M&C Saatchi were appointed to handle Etihad’s communications globally, our task was to develop a brand campaign that reinforced Etihad as the World’s Leading Airline, reasserting Etihad’s premium brand positioning with a strong and distinctive new look and tone of voice. We needed to identify a compelling proposition to differentiate Etihad and change the competitive benchmark from aviation to the hospitality industry at large. An airline that has always flown ‘guests’ rather than passengers, Etihad is inspired by best-in-class hospitality across the world. We developed a campaign with the endline, ‘The World is Our Home, You are Our Guest’.
For the TVC, we brought two worlds together with beautifully shot split-screens. On one side, inspiration from far-flung places; on the other, how that translates into the Etihad experience.
The visuals were rich and cinematic, exuding luxury. Every detail was carefully art directed and brought to life with complex lighting setups, using flair and texture in front of the lens to create a unique style.
Add to this the smooth sophistication of a classic Bobby Darin track and you have a film that delivers a modern premium airline to a global audience in a new and refreshing way.
