The challenge

What we did

A US holiday is a big, slow decision, and this window was six weeks. Interest in California had to become Qatar Airways bookings to LAX and SFO, beyond the metros.

  1. Joined two brands into one offerCalifornia’s pull and Qatar’s fares in one campaign, with a time-bound promo code and one co-branded booking page.
  2. Picked the citiesSold LAX and SFO into 13 Tier 1 and 2 cities; some of the best response came from Ahmedabad and Hyderabad.
  3. Paid for responseSearch, programmatic and news sites, much of it bought per click, so the budget paid for interest, not just exposure.
