The tagline of the campaign will be It's time to fly. The
company issued a release stating that the campaign would be marked
by a unique visual style. The spots will highlight vignettes created
by award-winning animators telling poignant stories of business
travelers, set to United's signature music Rhapsody in Blue
by George Gershwin.
Talking about the initiative United Airlines senior VP marketing
Martin White added, "Business travel is too often portrayed negatively.
But those who travel most frequently for business know that frequent
flights and face-to-face meetings are often the only way to 'get
things done.' They also relish leisure travel. So we have incorporated
a leisure travel message into some of the ads. The new campaign
is a tribute to the 'can do' spirit we share with our customers
and underscores the value that United Airlines alone can bring to
the travel experience."
In total four televisions spots will air this year. The first commercial
that will air during the Oscar Awards is called Interview.
This tells the story of a business person travelling out-of-town
for a big job interview. Meanwhile the airline also transported
the 50 Oscars that will be handed out on 1 March from Chicago to
Los Angeles a few days ago. The airline will also fly all the nominees
to the ceremony which should have more glamour than last year's
toned down event.
