Description

To impactfully communicate a tactical offer for Emirates Airline, in a competitive market period. The idea was to bring to life and enhance an initial creative idea, in a dynamic and surprising way whilst injecting fun and humour. This was achieved through the goldfish seemingly jumping right across the editorial page to the larger bowl. The goldfish element was designed to appear as part of the editorial, yet by virtue of colour it grabs the eye from the surrounding black and white stories. The creative buy was fireplace media space combined with 18cm by 6 columns across the gutter. They were critical team players in developing the creative idea and making it jump into life literally, in the press. The ad is unique, not only is the space size bought unique but also in its creative thought, achieving stand out in a medium that is cluttered, and very competitive. The press in the UAE do not sell this space/shape and were not willing to bend the rules. It took all the powers of persuasion at all levels to pull this off.

Execution
