Most brands are using social channels on a tactical level i.e. just to reach people with their social ads. KLM however is taking social way beyond advertising.
Last year KLM announced it would be launching a social seating service in 2012 which would allow Facebook and LinkedIn users to meet interesting passengers on their flight…
This “Meet & Seat” service has now gone live and details are available on their website. It is currently available only on KLM flights between Amsterdam and New York, San Francisco and Sao Paulo. Stay tuned as they will be extending this service to other sectors soon.
In the past couple of years, airlines like KLM, SAS, Lufthansa, Air China etc have taken the social media world by storm. These airlines have successfully pushed the boundaries and created some of the most innovative social campaigns out there.
Now in their Fly2Miami campaign, KLM has managed to once again create tons of social buzz by hosting a Guinness World Record breaking in flight dance party at 35000 feet!
It all began with KLM announcing their new non-stop route from Amsterdam to Miami. In response, they received a tweet from Dutch DJ Seid van Riel and Producer Wilco Jung requesting KLM to move their inaugural flight up a week so that they could attend the music festival in Miami.
KLM then tweeted back a challenge…if they could get enough people to fill the plane then KLM would reschedule the flight. Within a couple of hours the flight was sold out… 😎
Air China flies not only to China but also throughout Asia. The challenge was how could Air China then raise the Swedish consumers awareness about this fact? In response their ad agency Rodolfo created a Facebook check-ins campaign.
A select number of popular Asian restaurants in Sweden were transformed into ambassadors for Air China. At the restaurants, guests were encouraged to check-in with Air China on Facebook. The check-ins were then aggregated on the Air China Facebook page and a complete leader board of the highest number of check-ins and the most popular restaurants were displayed. Each week the users with the highest number of check-ins were awarded two complimentary tickets to Asia. 😎
This year charity and human rights organization Amnesty International France has turned its signatures petition drive at www.marathondessignatures.com into a musical ‘hymn to freedom’ with Paris based agency La Chose.
The campaign was like any other petition drive, but with a slight difference. Every digital signature received released the next note of an exclusively written song called the Sound Of Amnesty. To push the boundaries, they even got music recognition service Shazam to promote their petition in their smartphone app.
When the Shazam app did not recognize a song, the usual error message along with a special message “Valentina Rosendo Cantu could not make herself heard either. Assaulted by soldiers, she asked for justice but the authorities refused to investigate” was displayed. As a result 150,000 signatures were collected, a 500% increase from the previous year! The song was also made into a CD and sent to Amnesty’s targeted authorities.
Mini along with ad agency TBWA\Agency.com created a social spectacle to increase the number of fans on their recently launched Mini Facebook page in Belgium and Luxemburg.
A Mini Countryman was attached to a thick rope in the parking lot of the “Brussels Motorshow” and a burner placed under the rope. Every Facebook fan was then encouraged to remotely initiate the burner and spit some flames on the rope. A webcam broadcasted the scene 24×7 and the Fan whose flame ultimately broke the rope was the one to win the Mini Countryman. 😎
Jeep Poland launched Jeep-in, a geo location game, which turned Poland into a big treasure map. To play it people had to go off-road.

The awards were put in the most remote and hard to get places in Poland. The player who at the end had the highest number of points won a Jeep Grand Cherokee.
