THE LOWDOWN
British Airways is linking up with Google Earth for an integrated advertising campaign to promote its World Offers flights sale.
The campaign was developed by Bartle Bogle Hegarty, which handles the advertising for both companies. The idea was devised by the BBH board planner Ben Malborn. It centres on two TV spots, one for short-haul and the other for long-haul flights.
The ads feature the spinning Google Earth globe. In each execution, the camera zooms in to the different destinations included in BA's World Offers.
The first ad opens by focusing on Dubai. Over the top of the map, cloud-style letters show the prices of flights between Heathrow and Dubai, starting at £239. The globe then spins around to Hong Kong and New York and their flight prices appear. It ends with an aerial shot of a young girl standing in a field, holding a kite.
The second spot features BA's short-haul destinations from Gatwick, such as Milan and Marseilles. It ends with a bird's eye view of people sitting outside at a continental cafe.
Customers are directed to ba.com, where they can download Google Earth and get a close-up view of their potential flight destination.

After moving the cups around. he asks the manager to pick the one with the coin underneath. Reno then repeats the trick but using three glasses instead of cups. He says: "Life is so much easier when you can see where everything is."

The spot was created to highlight Vodafone's football results service. It begins in a football stadium as a player scores a goal. As the crowd cheers, a bunch of tiny lights fly out of the roof. The lights turn into little elf-like football supporters, who spread out to tell people about the game.
A recipient finds one of the tiny little football fans landing on his table while he is eating in a restaurant.
This year, Vodafone posted a net global loss of £21.8 billion for the year ending 31 March, compared with a net profit of £6.5 billion the previous year.

To back the launch of the fragrance, Grey London has created a 20-second TV spot.

After a close-up on her chest, the picture fades into a shot of the product as a voiceover whispers: "Underneath it all, Femme. The new fragrance from Boss."
