Increase worldwide brand awareness for WOW air and keep a steady supply of fun and relevant content on the WOW air Snapchat account throughout the summer
In April of 2016, WOW air launched the SnapTraveler program. A Social Media campaign calling on all Snapchat users to apply for the summer job of a lifetime, with nothing but a short Snapchat video. 4 applicants would eventually be chosen to travel between any of WOW air's 28 destinations all summer, all expenses paid, with one mission and one mission only: To share their experience on WOW air's Snapchat account. After the announcement, word quickly spread to every corner of the globe, introducing the brand to many parts of the world for the first time. When the application deadline passed the number of applicants was running in the tens of thousands. A few weeks later, 4 individuals got the call with only days of notice to hop on a plane to Iceland and meet the WOW air team.
