It’s been some time since I’ve posted on my blog. Over the course of the last weeks I thought it would be nice to get back in to the habit.
In a time that everybody writes about funky web 2.0 campaigns and all of the new channels it is sometimes the “simple” things that are worth mentioning, e.g. a good print ad combined with a simple web portal and good content.
A good example is the announcement campaign that Lufthansa did for the addition of the Airbus A380 to their fleet in mid May 2010.
The introduction of this new member of the Lufthansa fleet was ochestrated with a number of activities. It included the above print ad, that I personally like a lot, and a multilanguage web portal that gives users a deeper insight on the development, technical details and amenities of the A380.

There is a wide and really interesting selection of videos that covers the different development stages and the first flights of the A380…including last weeks trip to South Africa with the German National Soccer Team and Shakira to take them to the Soccer World Cup.

Obviously this introduction could not do without Web 2.0 components ;o) For one it was covered via Lufthansa’s Twitter feed
In addition the arrival of the A380 in Frankfurt was covered in a live web stream special on Lufthansa’s Facebook Fan page.
Obviously one could argue that Lufthansa could have been slightly more innovative when it comes to the campaign roll out and the tools. At the end of the day I kind of like the rather solid approach. I don’t know the numbers on the campaign, but looking at the video content they could have done a better job at seeding it to tech blogs, the big media portals and enthusiasts, as the stories are really interesting.
There was a nice piece on German Bild.de but I did not find a lot more.
Now the next step is to actually book a flight on the A380 ;o)
