Description
Traveling in 2022 was pretty rough, and the year ahead seems to promise more of the same… but with higher prices. This has us asking ourselves, ‘what is happening and who is causing this?’
KAYAK, the travel search engine, is doing its part to help navigate the dramatic increase in travel costs. Their new campaign supports an upcoming glow up to its Explore feature which helps people discover all the places they can travel to on a given budget (hint: you can currently find flights as cheap as $50 to Florida right now!).
The new 2023 campaign builds on the brand’s conspiracy-theory adjacent ‘KAYAK Deniers’ brand platform launched in early 2022. Made in partnership with the AI-backed creative agency Supernatural, the campaign tackles today’s travel realities head on...if you believe in conspiracy theories.
The set of ads speaks to the unseen powers arbitrarily driving the cost of travel up as a way to control the industry. These “Elites” are nefarious and trying to ruin humanity! However, they’re not human, or real, and thus easily defeated by great travel deals on KAYAK.
This professional campaign titled 'Secret Meeting' was published in United States in January, 2023. It was created for the brand: Kayak, by ad agency: Supernatural. This Film medium campaign is related to the Travel and Tourism industry and contains 2 media assets. It was submitted over 1 year ago.
