Objectives and challenges

Air France deploys digital campaigns every week in various markets to promote its destinations worldwide in a highly competitive environment.

The challenge for the airline is to adapt its campaigns to the different countries in which they are displayed, as each country has its own characteristics and objectives: local languages, promotions, prices, airports, etc.

The complexity for Air France lies in its ability to provide personalized digital campaigns based on the country and departure airport, while streamlining its creative costs for banner production.

The use of Dynamic Creative Optimization (DCO) is essential to address these challenges.

To meet these objectives, Air France relies on ADventori to deploy its DCO campaigns, with the following key objectives :

Deliver personalized campaigns that adapt to the user and the characteristics of each country.
Optimize creative costs for banner production across different Air France markets while utilizing the creative concepts developed by its agency.
Provide autonomy and flexibility for Air France teams to launch and manage their display campaigns, both on the creative and media buying fronts.
Improve collaboration and streamline workflows among different stakeholders.
Independently test different creative concepts and campaign scenarios.
Supervise and measure campaigns and their performance in real-time.

Deployed Solutions

ADventori has developed 2 solutions specifically for Air France :

1. Meta Template Deployment

In order to reduce creative costs associated with the development of Air France banners, ADventori has developed a meta template that automates the generation of banners for multiple countries, while streamlining the campaign launch process.

This meta template consists of a library of 28 screens that can be used to create all combinations of Air France banners for their display campaigns.

The creative concept change for Air France led by Aura in 2021 provided an opportunity to develop this meta template with the new brand guidelines in mind.

2. Development of a Creative Management Platform (CMP)

Air France and ADventori collaborated to implement a platform called the Creative Management Platform (CMP), which aims to streamline and optimize the management and deployment of digital campaigns by adapting banner content to local specificities.

The CMP enables the following :

Automation of advertising campaign launches for local Air France markets, from banner construction to final preview: 15 media traders use the CMP on a daily basis to launch their campaigns.
Processing of all data feeds within the advertiser’s digital campaigns (language translation feeds, airports, prices, availability, etc.).
Storage of an image bank and all frames used to develop the advertising banners.
Scheduling of campaign deployment in less than 48 hours.
