This campaign with Think Zest and ebookers.com promoted sunny San Diego to a UK audience in the gloomy winter months

This superside ad campaign was coordinated between London Taxi Advertising, creative communications agency Think Zest and booking website ebookers.com. Promoting ebookers.com’s work with the San Diego Tourism Authority (SDTA), the cabs brought the California sunshine to London during the bleak British winter.

The taxi campaign was part of SDTA’s overall $10 million international marketing strategy, running for seven months across a range for platforms and in several countries. Taxi advertising was chosen as the desired format to reach a London audience due to the iconic reputation of the famous black cab.
