The challenge

What we did

San Francisco felt far away to Indian travellers. To be a first choice, the whole trip had to look easy: Air India, SFO, the city and beyond.

  1. Told the whole journeyBrought San Francisco, Air India and SFO into one story, so the trip felt seamless from booking to the first day.
  2. Made a series, not a spotSeven short films: six following a creator couple through San Francisco and SFO, one taking the story on to Mammoth Lakes and Tri-Valley.
  3. Launched it, then carried itPremiered the films at San Francisco Travel’s sales mission in India with the creators on stage, then carried them across video, connected TV, streaming and news platforms.
