Ice planes landed in Toronto and Vancouver!
Frozen DC-3 planes landed in Toronto and Vancouver this week-end as part of a promotional push for CBC’s new dramatic series, Arctic Air, premiering on January 10. Newad’s Experiential Marketing team delivered illuminated ice sculptures, which were on display for 48 hours on January 7 and 8.
Brand ambassadors sporting Arctic Air airline outfits distributed boarding passes, encouraging passersby to enter a “watch and win” contest for a chance to win one of two trips to Yellowknife (Northwest Territories). This promotional initiative took place at Toronto’s Nathan Phillips Square and Vancouver’s Robson Square.
Arctic Air is a one-hour adventure series set in the booming Arctic, about a maverick airline and the unconventional 
family who runs it. Arctic Air features the star power of Adam Beach (Cowboys and Aliens, Flags of our Fathers, Law & Order: SUV), Pascale Hutton (Fringe, Rookie Blue, Sanctuary) and Kevin McNulty (The Killing, End Game, Battle Star Galactica).
“Our mandate was to execute a creative campaign to drive viewership and awareness for the dramatic CBC television series Arctic Air. This initiative was developed by M2 Universal, who is in charge of media planning for this CBC series,” remarks Lindsey Blake, Director of Experiential Marketing for Central Canada.
