    #FLYLIKEACBRLOCAL

    With Canberra Airport being the central hub for International and Domestic traveling adventures within CBR, and local Canberra girl and ULTIMATE ‘girl-on-the-go’ Caroline Buchanan ( also a client of Thinktank Social) acting as a social media partner and ambassador for the Canberra Airport brand, let’s simply … #flyCBR together!

    Canberra Airport’s mission is to inspire, and generate an increase of overall brand awareness within the social space and create a buzz that will set them apart from other airports by building their brands and driving customer engagement and loyalty.

    This was achieved by aligning with Australian Olympian and Influencer Caroline Buchanan in creating a series of engaging campaigns that appealed to both local communities and also International markets including New Zealand and Singapore.

    Merging travel with ‘active living’ for the ultimate lifestyle adventure to follow. It was time to #FLYLIKEACBRLOCAL.

    OUR STRATEGY

    By developing and executing a series of targeted campaigns over a 3 month period, Canberra Airport successfully achieved the following:

    1
    The acquisition of an active and engaged
    Facebook and Instagram community.
    2
    An increase in the size of
    their email database.
    3
    An increase in brand awareness
    through the use of Caroline Buchanan’s
    social media communities.

    STRATEGIC INITIATIVES

    • The Canberra Airport Facebook and Instagram communities were given the chance to WIN a meet + greet with Canberra Airport Ambassador, local Canberran and Olympian, Caroline Buchanan, PLUS a $1000 travel voucher by naming their favourite local Canberra hot spot.

    • Users were encouraged via the Facebook and Instagram posts to submit their details through the customised ‘competition’ form housed on the flylikeacbrlocal.com.au landing page.

    • The Majura Park Shopping Centre Facebook and Instagram community were invited to the shopping centre on Sunday 17th September to meet + greet with Canberra Airport Ambassador, local Canberran and Olympian, Caroline Buchanan.

    • Users were asked to enter their details at the flylikeacbrlocal.com.au landing page on an iPad before meeting Caroline

    • We also handed out social postcards and encouraged people to take an Insta story, video or image of themselves with Caroline to post to their Instagram using the tags @majura_ park @canberra_airport and hashtags #flylikeacbrlocal.

    • In addition to utilising Canberra Airport’s and Majura Park’s social channels, we also had access to Ambassador Caroline Buchanan’s Facebook and Instagram pages to further cross promote and maximise the engagement of this promotion. We utilised Facebook advertising (Post Engagement and Conversion ads) to boost this information into targeted news feeds.
