Building Integrated New Media Marketing Ecosystem in the Aviation Field
In 2015, Hong Kong Airlines launched a new service campaign "Sweeten You Up", leading a new integrated marketing approach in the aviation industry. Especially during the Christmas season, Hong Kong Airlines partnered with Miao Pai, the largest Chinese video blogging platform, to launch an innovative video campaign, making it viral via online interactive channels. The campaign featured videos taken in 30 domestic and international destinations of Hong Kong Airlines in which celebrities also participated. The online event received overwhelming response by earning more than 300,000 "Likes" with millions of views recorded in just 7 days after the launch. This campaign successfully linked Hong Kong Airlines' official digital channels in WeChat, Weibo with the new media across the internet, and stimulated the interaction between customers and the brand. This successful campaign excels at the awards as "The Most Influential Company in New Media" this year.
With enhanced brand strategies, Hong Kong Airlines will launch more integrated new media marketing campaigns. In the new media era, the company will continue to cooperate with new media experts to build the integrated new media marketing ecosystem in the aviation field.
