Virgin Balloon Flights
Teaching journalists to fly a hot air balloon, courtesy of Virgin Balloon Flights
We had a wonderful brief to differentiate the Virgin Balloon Flights experience from both national and regional operators and increase its share of the UK market.

The story
The campaign
We invited key consumer journalists to the Virgin Balloon Flying School in Northern Italy, where they tried balloon piloting for themselves. In return, journalists committed to editorial features following the trip.
We supported the experience with promotions and competitions across consumer and lifestyle media, plus corporate partnership packages with membership organisations and charities to reach supporters, customers and staff.
