Background / Issues • Named  "Best No Frills Airline," by the Telegraph Travel Awards for 3 consecutive years, bmibaby (a subsidiary of British Midland Airways) is an established airline delivering a portfolio of services. • The brand wanted to be able to offer potential customers flight availability, new route information and late flight offers at short notice in addition to the radio and press communications already being used. • Website transactions are a key element to keeping their costs down and so explored new, creative and timely ways to make consumers aware of flight information and drive them to the site.

  3. ITV’s Response: Live,ReactiveAdvertising • Flexibility of the format was ideal for bmibaby, enabling them to tailor timely info on latest flight deals to push viewers to purchase from the website. • Premiered in a two week burst on ITV Central, with a specially designed schedule around bmibaby’s existing sponsored break bumpers in Regional Weather, to benefit from the existing branding message. • Rolled out to Wales and Granada regions also. • A new advertising technology developed by ITV where a television ad is edited seconds before transmission to enable the advertiser to highlight up-to-the-minute information on available products or services.
