Walls 6
Delta’s goal for 2017 was to start real conversations with local audiences. Wieden & Kennedy and PHD dreamt up a series of campaigns that would draw on Colossal’s connections to the arts in New York and Los Angeles. Four unique executions brought the brand into conversations about community and culture in a fun, relatable way.
Heart In The Swipe Right Place
A partnership with New York’s biggest dating app offered Delta a direct line to the local social scene. User data provided a hook: Tinder users with travel photos get more dates.
Colossal painted the Delta Dating Wall on a flagship wall in Williamsburg and Delta invited New Yorkers to “fake it til you make it.” Press placements, influencer marketing, and content produced by Colossal (including videos used in organic and paid social media campaigns) spread the word. The hyper-local activation quickly became everyone’s best wingman.

The second round of artwork on the Williamsburg flagship featured artwork by Celyn Brazier. Brazier reimagined 133 of Delta’s airport codes as whimsical illustrations bursting with local landmarks.
Colossal recreated the intricate illustrations on the massive Williamsburg wall. With a nudge from strategic press placements, people began snapping and sharing photos of their hometowns and dream destinations.

Another Williamsburg canvas sat above Smorgasburg, the food festival with trendy eats from around the world. A bright illustration encouraged foodies to fly to the cities where their food came from.

Across the country, Delta brought real street art from Mexico, London, and Melbourne to the streets of LA, highlighting key gateways accessible through LAX.
Colossal installed an outdoor art gallery with a rotating collection of the street art. We recreated every detail of the original pieces, down to the windows and wall texture behind the artwork.

Delta used videos and GIFs created by Colossal in paid social media campaigns. The content, combined with seeded press, got audiences to hit the streets and take photos with each piece. Those who did were entered into a contest in which they got a chance to go see the real thing.
