Delta Ad Campaign in Atlanta

ATLANTA, May 12, 2003—Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) has unveiled a new advertising campaign promoting the unmatched flight schedule it offers customers from its Atlanta hub. ÊAn evolution of the campaign unveiled last November to address a top customer demand—flight frequency—the new effort by Leo Burnett USA will include television, radio, print and outdoor advertising.

The latest television and radio spots feature the line “Home. You`ll Get Used to It.” The campaign highlights the fact that Delta offers more flights to and from Atlanta than any other airline, allowing business travelers to return from their trips and spend more time at home.
“These new ads remind our Atlanta business customers that Delta can fly them where they want to go, when they want to go,” said Vicki Escarra, executive vice president and chief marketing officer for Delta. “Delta’s extensive route network and frequent daily service will bring them back home to Atlanta to spend more quality time with friends and family.”

Three new TV spots, which broke May 10, feature humorous vignettes of frequent business travelers “re-adjusting” to life in their own homes. Radio spots reflect the nostalgia for all the things associated with coming home. Print ads will run in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Atlanta Business Chronicle and The Wall Street Journal. The campaign will run through the end of the summer.
Delta and Delta Connection offer customers 904 daily flights from Atlanta, the largest airline hub in the world. The carrier gives customers the most flights to key business destinations from Atlanta including New York, Washington, Boston, Dallas and Los Angeles.
