Excerpt: The campaign is specifically aimed at U.S. travelers, who take vacation substantially less than European counterparts. Another spot emphasizes that consumers can book first and ask their boss later-illustrated by a shot of a tired employee scrolling through work emails then clicking on a Booking.com trip. Other edits also emphasize booking homes, as Booking.com is taking AirBnB head-on in the alternative accommodation category, and the ease of booking last-minute trips.
“The amount of travel content that is consumed by people dreaming of travel is higher than ever,” says Pepijn Rijvers, Chief Marketing Officer at Booking.com in a statement. “By creating a community of ‘bookers,’ Booking.com is aiming to celebrate the people who take action and empower others to experience the world, no matter where that is.”
The campaign includes 60-, 30- and 15-second spots and is running on primetime U.S. TV as well as online. Media is through Mindshare.
