The problem

British Airways Holidays were looking for ways to:

1) Inspire users to fly and book a family holiday with them to Disneyland® Paris.
2) Book Avis car-hire for those customers looking for a European fly-drive holiday.

British Airways customers are frequent readers of Mail Online and can be targetted with inspiring holiday articles promoting British Airway's great rates and flexibility and their extensive short-haul flight network.

Problem statement

‘How can we inspire Mail Online readers to travel with British Airways Holidays to Disneyland® Paris and other European destinations whilst also considering car-hire through their partnership with Avis.’

VISUAL DESIGN

Examining the client's brand

The brand direction is important in determining how users feel when they come to the website and will also help with font and image selection, colour and icon design.

Co-partnership brand:

  • Clean and simple, grounded and trusted but not too salesy.
  • Visually different to client’s own brand but with similarities.
VISUAL DESIGN
