#CunardLive #CunardPhotographicJourney Social Influencer Content Campaign

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

Cunard has launched a new UK nationwide digital Out of Home campaign using social media influencer content being created aboard the maiden ‘Photographic Journey’ voyage of its cruise ship, Queen Elizabeth, to the Arctic Circle.

Social media posts from influencers will be created via the indaHash platform and integrated into digital Out of Home ads across Clear Channel’s UK malls network.

Luisa Cameron, head of implementation at PHD told us “This year we have seen the evolution and growth of influencer marketing at PHD. We can now create content-led media solutions, custom built to our clients’ needs and the Cunard campaign is the first fully integrated influencer content campaign. Together with PHD’s unique insight lead consumer Rhythms planning approach, we not only implemented the right content strategy but an optimised media plan to connect with our audiences.”

Conceived by Omnicom Media Group’s PHD UK in collaboration with Talon Outdoor, the campaign will see four specially selected influencers travel on the Queen Elizabeth along the Norwegian coastline and into the Arctic Circle.

Throughout the trip, they will use influencer marketing platform indaHash to post and comment on life and activities onboard Cunard’s luxury cruise ship. This content will then be shared directly across Clear Channel’s network of digital six-sheet screens in ten shopping malls nationwide, including Manchester Arndale centre, Cribbs Causeway, Ealing Broadway and Drake Circus in Plymouth, as well as on Malls XL screens, potentially creating hundreds of unique creative executions.

The social influencer campaign is designed to drive awareness of the Cunard brand and educate new audiences about new destinations and life on-board and will run for two weeks, encompassing the entire length of the Cunard voyage.

Angus Struthers, Marketing Vice President at Cunard said “Our guests are constantly seeking out travel inspiration from social networks and influencers so, the opportunity to share the wonders of the Arctic Circle, live from one of the most famous and glamorous ships in the world, as people go about their daily lives is too good an opportunity to miss! ”
impactful way.”
