The Campaign

Why wouldn’t an airline address the fear of flying? Except, fear of flying comes in many forms. Racial discrimination comes from fearful beliefs and assumptions, resulting in unexpected consequences to its victims, thus instilling fear in them as well. The idea was to presumably address the more relatable, well-known fear of flying, but then bring the audience’s attention to a less known, more dangerous one.

Execution

We released the video online – on Facebook, twitter, and YouTube – as well as on TV. We focused on online reach to stir up the conversation on race and stereotypes.

The Situation

Race discrimination in the aviation industry is a familiar concept, calling for the national carrier of an Arabic, Muslim-majority country to make a stand against it. Through this work, Royal Jordanian effectively represents and defends its main target customer in the international community, which, as an airline, it is a substantial part of. It also relates to and promotes Jordan’s widespread values of inclusivity and hospitality.

The Strategy

The target audience includes the international community across the spectrums of race and beliefs. The main media channel was social media, but digital and TV channels were also addressed. The call to action was for airlines and passengers alike; don't be afraid to say no to discrimination.
