Zippo Rationale for Subway campaign Zippo lighters have always been the standard for refillable lighters. There is little question about their durability and practicality.

However, the classic lighter has fallen off the radar of many consumers.

This campaign focuses on reintroducing people to the classic durability and effortless style of Zippo lighters.

The campaign uses individuality and style to convey the message that Zippos are more than just lighters; they are an extension of those who own them. The advertisements may first be perceived as for a fashion designer. Drawn in by the stunning visuals, the intelligent, hip and successful target market will appreciate the wit of the advertisement when they take it in for a moment longer and discover the brand.

The 20-35 year old male audience will relate to the idea that their in-your-face boldness is what makes them who they are. The Zippo lighter is more than a lighter, it’s the key to truly expressing individuality.

Text starts at the top and slowly floats towards lighter as page scrolls.

We bet you’re a Jack Daniels kind of guy.

After the user clicks, the lighter flips open expanding outside of the skyscraper. It shows a theme based on their unique search history.

More than a lighter, it’s an extension of you.

Lighter flips in a circle and closes. Zippo logo appears.

This guerrilla advertisement would consist of giant lighters in place of the traditional lights in subway tunnels. They would look like real fire and the flame would lean with the gust of wind from the subway, but not go out. Above the lighters the Zippo logo would be on the tunnel walls. This campaign is placed in a high-visibility area along many of the target-market’s commute.

However, it leaves traditional subway advertising in the dust by creating interest and whimsy.

This is a service campaign.

How many mountain ranges are there?

It’s been said that there are too many mountain ranges in the world to count them all. It makes you wonder how many peaks there must be, and about all the people who live on those ranges. What do they eat? How do they dress? Is it possible to get tired of the view? Don’t let curiosity be the end of your exploration. Kayak makes it easy to get out there and explore the world yourself. By comparing hundreds of travel sites for you, Kayak takes the headache out of traveling and lets you focus on figuring out which hemisphere is calling your name. So go on, start brainstorming.
