About the Pitch

Our concept was to brand Italian autumn tourism as a notion unto itself for Alitalia, Italy’s national airline at the time. The campaign name was Autumnal Italy: No Sweat. No Swarms. Its messaging spoke directly to an urbane demographic in a way that tapped the imagination and promised a richer, more meaningful visit to Italy – as only Alitalia could deliver it.

Pitch Objectives

The goal was to have people associate the idea of Italian High Culture with Alitalia, and thus book their fall trips through the airline. We planned to realize this with various snapshots showing the experiences on offer via an advertising campaign, a microsite, social media, videos, travel blogs, and other means of enabling Alitalia to own the concept.

Dead silence. That’s how it goes sometimes. Had a blast doing it though.
