Emirates has launched its first bespoke campaign with a series of short videos specifically targeted to ��������Ƶ, cleverly interlacing comedy to address the pain points of travel and showcase Emirates’ award-winning economy class experience.
The campaign stars Badr Saleh, and draws on experiences that almost every Saudi traveler can relate to — dated inflight movies and programs, keeping children entertained onboard, and missing their favorite programs while traveling.
Saleh, one of the funniest comedians in the GCC, used a refreshing blend of observational humor, improvization and in situ skits to differentiate the Emirates economy class experience. Saleh was chosen for this campaign for his influence as one of the most well-known comedians in ��������Ƶ and the region, with millions of followers across YouTube, Twitter and Instagram as well as a strong TV presence, regularly reaching millions with his prime time evening show on MBC.
The first video shows the endless inflight entertainment onboard a typical Emirates flight, so much so that Badr and his friend are still glued to their screens long after other passengers have disembarked.
Khalid Al-Haddad, vice president ��������Ƶ, said: “Emirates’ economy class is truly a no-compromise experience that offers more choice for Saudi travelers, and our onboard product provides exceptional comfort with world-class service and inflight entertainment for the whole family. It’s fantastic that Badr lent his comedic touch for this campaign and we hope that it brings some laughs to those watching while also showcasing the Emirates difference.”
Saleh said: “Emirates’ sense of humor struck a chord with me, and I am incredibly proud to have worked alongside the airline’s team to develop great content that truly shows the outstanding onboard experience they offer.”
The videos will be released over the course of the next few weeks, with the second spot illustrating the daunting experience of flying with children. Badr explains how many times he needs to apologize to other passengers and how flying with Emirates has alleviated his worries through the endless variety of kids entertainment provided onboard.
In the third video, Badr relives an experience about missing a critical football match, which takes the viewers directly onboard where he is watching live TV from his in-seat screen, a feature available on almost every Emirates flight. The comedian was able to enjoy his long-awaited football match, without missing a sporting highlight.
