Vacation is calling with Air Transat’s new ad campaign

Montreal, October 11, 2016 – Air Transat is proud to present its new "Vacation is calling" ad campaign, developed in partnership with the Sid Lee creative agency. Launched on September 26, it includes Web, social media, television, radio, display and print advertising.

With this new inspirational campaign, Transat reaffirms its role as a holiday travel leader while unveiling new colours that are more representative than ever of its brand promise, which is to brighten the everyday with the joy of vacations.

The video component of the campaign shows a world that is part real and part imaginary. It highlights the extraordinary power of vacations, and the feelings of happiness and excitement that come with booking a Transat Sun holiday.

"We are proud to be working with Sid Lee, a partner that understands our vision and believes in the magic of vacations as much as we do," says Geneviève LeBrun, Vice-President of Marketing at Transat Tours Canada. "Every year, Canadians look forward to their holidays. We are honoured to be a part of these precious moments and provide them with everything they need for an unforgettable experience. It all begins when they book with the best North American leisure airline," she adds.
