My dream pitch: Virgin America

Awareness and association

The Virgin Atlantic brand has always been about the consumer experience, from limousine service and in-flight massage to being the first airline to offer its business class travelers in-flight televisions. Key to the "First Time" campaign is developing awareness of the Virgin America brand and its differentiators. By learning and experiencing these differentiators, consumers associate themselves with the Virgin brand identity. The ultimate goal is that consumers make Virgin their first choice for air travel.

Lots of good stuff in this pitch. I particularly liked the airline survival kit. Talk about a dream opportunity to get product samples into select consumer hands. Delivers convenience and generates good will to boot! Likewise the destination microsite has the potential to generate some advertising revenue from other sources. The point being, much of what is proposed could be self-financing and could even generate extra revenues for Virgin in addition to their advertising value and contribution to the company's CRM strategy. I am unclear also has to if this pitch is for a specific niche campaign? Or, if its meant to be Virgin Airlines major marketing orientation and campaign in the US market? If the former, I like it. If the latter I am not sure that it considers what I would suppose to be the necessity for an airline to cater to widely divergent client demographics.
