In the campaign film, the KOLs travel across South East Asia with AirAsia and take part in activities from swimming with whale sharks in the Philippines to visiting ancient temples, riding jungle swings, surfing or paragliding in Bali.
As part of the campaign, the public were driven to a website where they were asked select “the settings” of their ideal holiday with AirAsia.
After choosing a destination, users received video content customized to their settings to share with friends and got the chance to win free tickets to their dream locations.
