As a Tier-One sponsor, BA’s campaign, which landed on the 19th
June, is a perfectly executed piece of work from BBH with the cheeky line of
‘Don’t Fly,’ extolling the nation to stay home and cheer on Team GB.
I’ve seen some negative comments about the advert,
suggesting that it’s crazy for the airline to encourage potential customers to
stay away, but surely that’s missing the point of this creative idea. Beyond
the TV advert a social campaign enables viewers to enter their postcode and
then see their street go past through the cabin window. It’s clever, relevant
and all to the soundtrack of The Clash’s iconic track, London’s Calling, genuine feel-good advert that captures both the
spirit of the Olympics and the fun of travel.
Over the next few weeks I’m sure there’s going to be plenty
to tut about with regards to the Olympics, but campaigns like this remind us
that this is, in part, a celebration of this great city and that despite its
faults, something we should all be proud of.

Bikes and planes aren't about going fast or having fun; they're toys, but serious ones.
