3. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Traveling is a unique experience. It allows for exploration and discovery of more then just destinations and cities, it’s a chance for the
individual to explore their own wants and desires; perhaps even discover who they are. This feeling around travel isn’t new. During the
Golden Age of travel, Americans explored the skies in leisure, style, and sophistication. This time is gone. Travel today is too often about
nickel and diming passengers and shoving as many people as possible into a single plane, all while rushing through to the next
destination. Or it was until 2000, when JetBlue launched a new kind of airline.
JetBlue differentiated from other airlines through sincere branding and honest care and consideration for their passengers, all with wit
and charm. This has allowed for JetBlue to become a favorite airline for many travelers despite only being 10 years old!
Air travel is sometimes associated with the stress of security, long lines, and baggage problems. With JetBlue, it’s easy for all of this to
fade away and let an enjoyable, personal, and highly memorable experience emerge. Traveling is a frequent part of the target’s lives:
whether they are flying to and from college, going home to their parent’s house for holidays, taking vacations, attending weddings, doing
business, or perhaps relocating. This is a group who demands the brands they interact with be personal, unique, and open to two-way
communication -- all of which JetBlue already does.
This campaign highlights how JetBlue is the fun airway to fly. With generous amenities, kind service, and distinct personality, flying
JetBlue puts consumers in a positive mindset. Bringing this mindset to the people of Boston during their everyday lives will help place
JetBlue into consumer’s immediate consideration set when booking travel, and solidify the airway’s position with the business traveler.
This June, JetBlue and Boston are taking a unique trip together -- to the streets and minds of the Boston traveler.

combines low-cost airfares evokes an overall sense of cattle herding. JetBlue on the other hand, is light-hearted, friendly, with a dash of wit
with a high quality consumer and a feeling that leaves the weary traveler feeling taken care of.
experience.
JetBlue is creating a travel revolution. During the Golden Age of air travel, flying was a coveted and important affair,
where customers got dressed up, and indulged in extravagant onboard service. Over the years this has deteriorated to
become simply a hassling experience to get from point A to point B. Now with JetBlue in the marketplace working to
change these perceptions, travele, travel can be an enjoyable experience.
Atmosphere360 believes the experience on JetBlue from searching for flights on the Web site to collecting your
baggage can be, and is, fun. Fun is all encompassing. Fun allows for the traveler to feel engaged by their airway, to be
given an enjoyable experience, to be entertained, and to engage with communications and messaging from JetBlue.
Placing a focus on fun, JetBlue differentiates jetting from flying and drives the consumer away from a cost-based
decision model to a preference-based model. This creates a unique opportunity to build relationships and increase
brand loyalty with these Ascending Aviators.
This “It’s Fun to Jet!” campaign creates the opportunity for Ascending Aviators to interact with JetBlue in a new,
interactive, and unique way. By highlighting relaxation and comfort, through the wit and fresh nature of the JetBlue
brand, we hope to drive brand preference and favorability.

connects and engages Bostonians during their daily routine, designed to delight, excite and surprise its viewers.
The “It’s Fun To Jet!” Campaign was created to enhance and compliment public spaces, while infusing the city
atmosphere with a contagiously playful spirit. Using locations from the Financial District’s Post Office Square, which
business people traverse daily, to The Esplanade, where people seek activity and relaxation, to office buildings, bus
shelters, and parks, Atmosphere360 has thoughtfully selected locations that reach key consumers.
To compliment our guerilla and non-traditional tactics, JetBlue’s robust social media presence will be utilized to engage
the staggeringly high amount of Bostonians on Twitter and Facebook. With JetBlue as one of the best examples of
social media adoption and integration into a modern business, it’s only fitting that social media play a role in this
campaign. With this, elements of the campaign will not only live on the streets, but also online.
SOCIAL MEDIA
The Ascending Aviators grew up in the digital revolution and are avid users of both Twitter and Facebook. Boston has
been titled by Mashable as the ‘Social Media Hub.’ Social Media is a key opportunity to reach out to an eager audience
either to follow up with them after an event or bring them out to take part in the fun.
Atmosphere360 found it key to the success of this campaign to engage JetBlue’s existing social media following. With
some executions existing solely through the use of social media, and others driving the target to the Facebook page or
Twitter. By integrating across platforms, we know that visibility and impressions will drastically increase for the
“It’s Fun To Jet!” campaign. Additionally, with a two week schedule, target engagement in the first half of the campaign
will drive continued engagement throughout the second week and beyond.

back of the ID badge will notify the wallet’s finder to call 1-800-LOGANJB. Upon
calling, the lucky finders will be instructed to bring the wallet to the JetBlue
counter at Logan Airport. If the finder acts as a “Good Samaritan” and returns
the wallet to Logan, they will be handsomely rewarded. The first person to
return a wallet will receive two roundtrip tickets. The second and third persons
to return the wallet will receive one roundtrip ticket. Even if no one returns the
wallet, the execution exists as an interesting social experiment.

THE JETBLUE LOUNGE
With The JetBlue Lounge in South Station, a major MBTA Commuter Rail
station, JetBlue will be providing rest to those travelers with tired feet. A blue
rug will lay out the perimeters of the lounge, accompanied by a sofa, two
chairs, and a coffee table that will complete the relaxtion spot. While waiting
for their train, travelers can sit comfortably, reading The Wall Street Journal
or Boston Globe that will be provided, surfing the web from the lounge’s WiFi
server. After the Lounge’s two day stay in South Station, JetBlue will give away
each piece of the furniture to a winner through Facebook. To win, Facebook
users must visit the JetBlue fan page and tag themselves as the piece of
furniture they want in the pictures posted. A random person chosen by JetBlue
will receive each piece of furniture from the lounge.
