Tiger Airways grabs top spot in TripAdvisor advertising challenge

The low-cost carrier will receive USD 100,000 worth of media value.

In a release, TripAdvisor, a travel website, announced the Singapore winner of its 2012 creative advertising challenge – a unique opportunity for the travel industry to showcase their creativity, and compete for the chance to win from a total prize fund of USD 1.5 million in advertising value on TripAdvisor.

Tiger Airways (Tiger) takes top spot in the Singapore leg of the competition. As part of its prize, Asia’s leading low cost carrier will receive USD 100,000 equivalent in media value for the implementation of the campaign on TripAdvisor this year.

The winning concept is focused on Tiger empowering travellers to acquire new and unique experiences. Jointly developed with creative agency The Idea Laboratory, the campaign brings to life one-of-a-kind “Tiger Tips” for destinations Tiger flies to.

Cindy Tan, Vice President of Display Sales, APAC for TripAdvisor said, “The judges for Singapore were excited to see such an engaging visual campaign from an airline that is usually geared towards tactical messaging. The “Tiger Tips” message sits very well in the TripAdvisor environment and at the same time showcases the routes that Tiger flies to. This will resonate well with our audience.”

“We recognise that our customers enjoy memorable holiday experiences as much as they do our great value fares. Tiger Tips are designed to enable our customers to live it up at these amazing destinations that we fly to,” said Tiger Airways Commercial Director Dave Perring.

“We also understand the fun of sharing these experiences with friends and family and made sure that the campaign lets travel fiends do just that!” added Mr Perring.

The campaign revolves around sharing tips for dining, shopping, relaxing and simply having a good time in the top Asia cities that Tiger flies to. TripAdvisor users can also share their own travel recommendations. Travellers with the best submissions will stand a chance to win Tiger flights.

TripAdvisor’s Cindy Tan continued, “We were extremely impressed with both the quantity and quality of entries from all over the EMEA and APAC region, it was great to see brands extending their focus beyond sales-led creative and instead think about how they can use TripAdvisor and online display formats to engage and build their brand profiles to achieve long term strategic goals.”

The winning campaign will run on TripAdvisor from August to October 2012. The campaigns were judged by a panel of TripAdvisor sales and marketing experts.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
