Delta Air Lines - “In Pursuit of Inspiration: Human Moments”

Entered in Multi-Platform Partnership

Objective

Delta Air Lines was looking to raise awareness among SAM traveler audiences traveling to the US. We utilized our in-house creative team to produce a video series featuring influencers that self-identify with the SAM community and audience. Utilizing our influencer network, we tapped creators/artists to help embody “the pursuit of inspiration” by pairing creative collaborators from both the U.S. and SAM countries. The concept was built to inspire and spotlight the artistry of creatives from SAM countries and how Delta Air Lines can bring them together both literally and creatively.

Strategy

Powering the ultimate meeting of the minds, we matched SAM artists with US based artists from the same field to fuel their next project. From performers, to photographers, to musicians and chefs, we set a front row seat to the inspiring moments of connection. These creators shed light on their personal backgrounds and unique styles and collaborated to build something neither could have imagined alone.

As human beings, we thrive on connection. The passionate exchange of energy, the enticing meeting of the minds, the thrilling clashes of distinct perspectives. The transformative power that these moments have is so strong that it oftentimes makes them the core of all creative bliss. But when life’s digital day-to-day demands cut us off from harnessing these human moments, it can feel like we’ve lost something deep inside us. But what if reconnecting to that inner-environment could be as easy as changing your outer-environment? Somewhere in the world, away from the blue-light of solitude, inspiration is waiting for you. How many miles would you travel to reconnect with the human moments? Join Delta Air Lines on the journey to reclaim vibrant and awe-inspiring new connections in the pursuit for inspiration.
