Diageo GT celebrates Lunar New Year in APAC
The Johnnie Walker limited edition designs for Lunar New Year are created by Shanghai-based designer Angel Chen, a rising star of the fashion industry
Diageo Global Travel (GT) continues its spectacular series of Lunar New Year celebrations in airports across Asia Pacific travel retail ahead of the festival on Sunday January 22.
In addition to the high-profile Johnnie Walker Blue Label x Angel Chen Lunar New Year campaign at Incheon Airport, Diageo GT is running a series of digital activations throughout the APAC region that embrace the hope and excitement of the holiday with imagery brought to life through immersive digital experiences and advertising.
The Johnnie Walker limited edition designs for Lunar New Year are created by Shanghai-based designer Angel Chen, a rising star of the fashion industry. Her design for the Year of the Rabbit features a dynamic, modern interpretation of 2023’s Zodiac animal, the sprightly rabbit.
The digital campaign reaches passengers throughout their journey, including:
- Pre-travel: consumers are reached by lifestyle digital media like DiDi (the Cab-hailing app) and Xiecheng (Flight-booking app). As well as traditional media like Condé Nast Traveller and via other social media ‘box opening’ experiences with influencers
- At the airport: highly impactful media placements are unmissable
- Inflight: GT also trialled boarding pass cooperation with Hainan Airline, consumers scan a QR code from their boarding pass and pre-book products
- Destination: consumers receive a reminder about their New Year shopping in Hainan via WeChat
