Canberra Airport

OVERVIEW

Canberra Airport’s goal is a simple but ambitious one – to be the best small airport in the world.
From a small airport surrounded by sheep paddocks, CAG has transformed Canberra Airport to a thriving precinct. Today it comprises of the terminal, Fairbairn RAAF base, Brindabella Business Park and Majura Park, which includes Majura Park Shopping Centre, home to Australia’s largest Woolworths and Canberra’s only Costco.

With Canberra Airport being the central hub for International and Domestic traveling adventures within CBR, and local Canberra girl and ULTIMATE ‘girl-on-the-go’ Caroline Buchanan (also a client of TTS) acting as a social media partner and ambassador for the Canberra Airport brand, let’s simply … #flyCBR together!

Canberra Airport’s mission is to inspire, and generate an increase of overall brand awareness within the social space and create a buzz that will set them apart from other airports by building their brands and driving customer engagement and loyalty.

This was achieved by aligning with Australian Olympian and Influencer Caroline Buchanan in creating a series of engaging campaigns that appealed to both local communities and also International markets including New Zealand and Singapore.

Merging travel with ‘active living’ for the ultimate lifestyle adventure to follow. It was time to #FLYLIKEACBRLOCAL.
