The airline company KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is promoting its services on the international market with a recently launched initiative under a friendly ‘Be My Guest’ tagline. The new campaign, developed by Tribal DDB and DDB Amsterdam, uses an undying trend, which has been used in recent marketing efforts by Burger King and adidas to name but a few—it features famous people from various industries. Since KLM is a Dutch company, the new promotional activity features six celebrities originating from the Netherlands—DJ Armin van Buuren, fashion supermodel Yfke Sturm, football legend Ruud Gullit, Hollywood actor Jeroen Krabbé, astronaut Wubbo Ockels, and designer Hella Jongerius, who can ‘be reached’ by the airline guests in the virtual chat.

The Cannes Films Festival is a huge event for both cinema world and the world of consumer brands, which is proved by numerous festival-related campaigns, brand promotions and long-time sponsorships. Some brands do not only launch campaigns and products dedicated to the event, but also tap recognized filmmakers to create short films to be showed at the festival. This year, Prada teamed up with notorious film director Roman Polanski to shoot a short film/commercial starring starting Helena Bonham Carter and Oscar winner Sir Ben Kingsley, which was screened at the Cannes Film Festival last week.
