As a premium travel lifestyle brand, Cathay is dedicated to elevating the life experiences of their members by enriching their lifestyles through earning and using Asia Miles. For the past 25 years, Asia Miles has woven itself into people’s lives. It has enabled their members to unlock more value in their travel journey and everyday lifestyle.
Every day, thousands of poignant life events unfold on the ground or in the air. Cathay understands the incomparable value that Asia Miles holds for Cathay members and this forms the gist of the anniversary film. Inspired by real stories, the film featured acclaimed Taiwanese director Lo Ging-zim, which cleverly weaves all the experience that people have redeemed throughout the years, taking viewers on a nostalgic journey paved by Asia Miles and inspire them on their continuous journey to unlock more possibilities.
The anniversary film takes a bold yet heartfelt route of enticing its viewers to explore whether you’re unlocking experiences through Asia Miles or is Asia Miles helping to unlock them for you – in front of friends, loved ones and more, featuring the good, the bad and the unexpected.
It can be as simple as redeeming a business class upgrade or a whole family trip that helped children redeem themselves in the eyes of loved ones, to moments like, redeeming a flight to redeem a long-distance relationship, or even unexpected moments like, redeeming exclusive concert tickets that even led to the boyfriend redeeming praise from strict potential parents-in-law, and more. Each story is a testament to the unwavering commitment of Asia Miles to enhancing the lives of its members.
Stay tuned for the full launch of the campaign. During Asia Miles 25th Anniversary, instead of celebrating the milestone, it is celebrating the people. Cathay will be offering a total of 25 exclusive miles rewards, specially curated to celebrate the enduring legacy of Asia Miles, including 3 fabulous offers on 3 consecutive Fridays. Following this, the campaign will feature shared stories through different touchpoints and a tongue twister activation. The anniversary will also feature a series of bespoke experiences, designed to commemorate this significant milestone.
“We are thrilled to celebrate the remarkable 25-year journey of elevating member’s everyday lives by making the most of Asia Miles and the lasting value it has brought to the lives of our members,” Cathay Head of Lifestyle Marketing Ms Linda Wang shared her excitement. “Through this anniversary campaign, we aim to not only celebrate the past and inspire future adventures, but also express our heartfelt gratitude to our partners old and new, as well as our loyal members who have made reaching this milestone possible.”
Halo Cheng, Group Creative Director of Leo Burnett Hong Kong, said: “As a fan of Cathay myself, we realised that everyone has a deeper connection with Asia Miles. Each scenario aims to dig deeper into that bond and remind people what more you will unlock with Asia Miles.”
