Virgin Australia Launches S'Wonderful Marketing Campaign to Hero its People

By -

Virgin Australia has just announced that a major new marketing campaign will debut this afternoon during the broadcast of the AFL grand final.

The campaign will feature a new 60 second TV commercial which was filmed on the salt plains of Western Australia, and will also incorporate online, print, outdoor and social media elements.



“When we launched the new Virgin Australia brand and identity last year, we made a promise to put the magic back into flying,” said Chief Customer Officer Mark Hassell.

“This campaign highlights how we have delivered on that promise. We have completely overhauled the customer experience, transforming the look and feel of travelling with Virgin Australia both in the air and on the ground.

“We now have a brand new product that can compete with the best airlines in the world,” he added.

For the study's authors, the tax is a way to avoid penalizing people in lower income brackets and shifting the load to the wealthiest 10 percent of the world's population. Not only would the revenues come from wea

The company said Thursday it has raised $40 million at a post-money valuation of $400 million. The company is setting its sights on expansion — not only tripling its engineering team, but eventually running regular fully unmanned commercial cargo flights. Xwing has been developing a technology stack to convert aircraft, including a widely used Cessna Grand Caravan 208B, to function autonomously.

The company has come up with a whole suite of solutions to solve for these problems, including integrating lidar, radar and cameras on the plane; retrofitting the servomotors that
