SpiceJet’s new communication strategy attempts to deliver ‘value’
With airline companies in India looking at weathering the current challenging industry scenario, domestic Indian brands have some work ahead of them. In a scenario, where full service carriers have been advertising low fares and low cost carriers have been talking about superior service advantages, for the average consumer selecting an airline has been a task that he/she has decided upon, based on the lowest common denominator- pricing.
New Kingfisher outdoor campaign makes veiled dig at IndiGo
A new outdoor campaign launched by Kingfisher Airlines makes a veiled dig ostensibly at low cost carriers although Rediffusion Y&R, the agency that created the campaign denied that there is any obvious reference to IndiGo, maintaining that the ad is a tongue in cheek reference to all low cost carriers in the market.
Rediffusion clarifies: Not in SpiceJet pitch
It was erroneously reported when filing the story that Rediffusion Y&R is one of the participating agencies. The agency handles the Kingfisher account and clarified that they are not a part of the pitching process. The error is regretted.At a time when most of its competitors are pinching pennies and possibly slashing advertising budgets, SpiceJet is learnt to have called for a pitch of its creative business. Agencies known to be part of the pitch include Bates 141, Ogilvy & Mather, Leo Burnett and Capital Advertising, according to sources close to the development.
Jet Airways selects IPG
Jet Airways has appointed Interpublic Group to handle its US$30 million global creative account, as the Indian carrier puts its ambitious expansion plans on hold because of soaring oil prices. The development ends M&C Saatchi’s hold on the business, which it won early last year. A new IPG unit, called Altitude, has been formed to lead the business, operating within McCann Worldgroup India. The account covers Jet Airways and its low-cost sibling, Jet Lite.
