TV and video advertising part of Arriva and FlixBus campaigns

Arriva and FlixBus launch TV and video advertising
SHARE

Arriva and FlixBus UK have each launched brand awareness campaigns for their respective services that major on video advertising across multiple media channels.

The Arriva work will initially run until 18 August and is part of a wider promotional exercise. It is built around a pilot advert under the strapline of ‘There’s a bus for that’. The group says that the campaign is intended to highlight bus travel as a whole, and not solely its own services.

FlixBus UK services will be promoted via other means in addition to addressable and online TV, with radio, digital audio, social media and display among them. It has adopted the ‘More Life in Real Life’ concept for promotion of its coach services, an approach that debuted in selected other markets during 2023.

Research by Arriva showed that for delivery of behaviour change, emotional engagement is key. Its campaign thus focuses on how a bus journey can connect people with where they wish to go and those they want to be with.

The Arriva pilot advert has launched in Luton, Merseyside and Milton Keynes, and it will be shown in cinemas and via on-demand streaming services.

Throughout the campaign, bus use will be tracked in those target areas, as will interaction of audiences with it, such as the number of views and clicks generated by online elements and the driving of ticket sales. If it is successful, it will be rolled out to further areas.

Arriva Managing Director Regions Alistair Hands says that the advertising forms part of a strategy for sustainable growth and that it targets potential customers.

Meanwhile, the FlixBus campaign is UK-wide and will run from late May until October. Like the Arriva work, the advertising aims to tap into “the emotional aspects of travelling as well as the positive benefits of coach over other modes of transport,” FlixBus UK says.

Its advert shows passengers enjoying real-life moments of fun on a coach as well as various social situations. Utilised is a Yutong GT12 coach from operator partner Belle Vue Manchester.

Flix Brand Team Lead Benedetta Chiumenti says that the business wanted to maintain “the authentic, real-life feel of the campaign we launched in continental Europe last year,” and that USPs of the service and range of destinations are clearly presented to the UK audience.

The brief here was to include stronger elements of the FlixBus green identity and to increase brand recognition, along with clear shots of the modern coaches utilised on its network.

andy burnham tfgm £15.6 billion (1) The funding announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves today (4 June) has been allocated to several combined mayoral authorities to use on rail, tram, road and bus infrastructure. Transport for Greater Manchester revealed today that part of the £2.5 billion it will receive will go towards making the Bee Network fully battery-electric by 2030. An as-yet undecided portion of that will support a planned investment in 1,000 new zero-emission buses over that period, the mayoral authority said. That is part of plans to build the UK's "first fully integrated, zero-emission public transport system", with trams and trains also set to benefit. Liverpool City Region's already announced BRT system is among the projects to which its £1.6 billion will be allocated. Under those plans - due for realisation by 2028 - a high-speed network will be served by articulated buses which are modelled on the 'Glider' in Belfast. It is due to link Liverpool city centre with John Lennon Airport, and Liverpool FC and Everton FC's respective stadia along three routes. Although the model of bus has not been confirmed, a Van Hool Exqui.City on loan from Belfast was last year used as a demonstrator. That 18m vehicle can accommodate around 30% more passengers than a typical bus and has three sets of double doors. The funding will also go towards buses elsewhere in the city as the region heads towards franchising services by 2027. Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram with a 'Glider' which was on loan from Belfast last year - an example of the sort of bus which could serve the new BRT Bus services in the East Midlands region will be boosted by the funding, thanks to the £2 billion handed to it today by the government. Some of that allocation will be used for a rapid transit network on the Trent Arc between Nottingham and Derby. Between the two cities, the Freeport, Infinity Park Investment Zone and Ratcliffe-on-Soar will also benefit from the improved bus services. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority's newly announced commitment towards bus franchising has been boosted by £350 million in funding as part of that region's allocation. The funding for West Yorkshire will help build new bus stations in Bradford and Wakefield. Likewise, the Tees Valley Mayoral Authority will put its sum towards a new £15 million bus station in Middlesbrough. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander says: "Today marks a watershed moment on our journey to improving transport across the North and Midlands – opening up access to jobs, growing the economy and driving up quality of life as we deliver our Plan for Change. "For too long, people in the North and Midlands have been locked out of the investment they deserve. With £15.6bn of government investment, we’re giving local leaders the means to drive cities, towns and communities forward, investing in Britain’s renewal so you and your family are better off."
