When the marketing team at Lufthansa discovered that 60 percent of their U.S. passengers have roots abroad, they moved to tap into this mix of demographics by becoming a truly active member of these communities and promote the brand via culture-specific marketing campaigns and website localization.

Articulate the problem >> define the solution platform>> craft a strategy >> create an engagement vehicle >> shape the experience bringing it to life.

Through research and interviews with current and potential customers, we identified the problem that, although most of them acknowledge Lufthansa’s product and services are superior to those of competition, they still felt the carrier is too foreign and only pushes advertising onto the community during cultural holidays and seasonal occasions, rather than telling and delivering a truthful contribution to the community to earn a place in people’s heart – and purchase decision process.

 
We sought to position Lufthansa not only as the airline that acknowledges and understands each of its culturally diverse customers, but as an active and invested member of their individual communities through campaigns and activities that indeed enriches the experience of people in all communities, and brings them joy in their everyday life – rather than just when you take a Lufthansa flight.
