The theme of AirAsia's “I Really Want to Fly” accurately captures the emotions of contemporary people who are eager to break free from work constraints and go on a flight for travel. When planning, the event company closely links the “flying dream” with the emotional connection of “escaping from daily life”. Interactive installations such as “Forget About Work, Don't Bring a Laptop” arouse the resonance of the audience. For an event company, exploring the emotional intersection between the brand and the audience is the first step to a successful theme planning, which can make the event stand out from numerous marketing voices and enhance the brand's likeability.
A large area of the site uses AirAsia's red visual elements, from the AirAsia logo to the red uniforms of the flight attendants, forming a strong visual impact. The event company builds an immersive brand scene by unifying the brand color tone and repeating brand symbols (such as airplane seats, check - in slogans). This method helps to deeply implant the brand in the audience's mind. Just like AirAsia uses a distinct visual to strongly bind “flying” with the brand, event companies can learn from this idea to create a highly recognizable scene for the cooperating brand and help with brand communication.
Multiple interactive check - in points are set up to encourage the audience to take photos and share them on social platforms. The event company knows very well that social media communication is the key to the spread of current events. AirAsia's move makes participants become the brand's “self - media”. Through user - generated content (UGC), the influence radius of the event is expanded. When executing, event companies can design more creative interactions, such as AR scanning experience, task check - in to get rewards, etc., to stimulate participation enthusiasm. Use social communication to bring free traffic to the brand and increase the exposure of brand - related event keywords in Google search.

When planning brand events, first,洞察(insight into) the target audience's emotions and create an empathetic theme; then, use brand visual symbols to create memory points; finally, design interactions with strong social attributes to promote event communication.
