The campaign is centred around AI-powered commercials that highlight Agoda's flights offering. Using advanced AI tools like Google Veo, Runway, and Kling AI, the creative elements of the campaign—including visuals—were generated using the latest generative AI technology[1]. This resulted in hyper-personalized, culturally relevant video ads tailored specifically for the Singaporean market, featuring creative scenarios such as humorous bathroom cubicle conversations about flight deals[1].

The campaign has proven to be a commercial success. On its first day, it achieved an impressive 470 million impressions and a 70% surge in bookings[1]. The campaign's focus on flight deals from Singapore, with prices starting as low as SGD 39 (~USD 23), has attracted cost-conscious travelers looking for affordable options[1].

By positioning itself as a comprehensive travel solution covering flights, hotels, and activities, Agoda aims to showcase that it offers unbeatable value and is a destination for innovation, starting with Singapore[1].

It demonstrates how AI can create dynamic, localized advertising content that resonates strongly with consumers, enhancing engagement and conversion rates[1]. By harnessing generative AI, Agoda differentiates itself in a competitive travel platform landscape, setting a precedent for tech-enabled customer experiences in travel marketing[1][2].
The campaign positions Agoda to capitalize on Asia’s fast-growing digital travel market, which is attractive for investors and stakeholders interested in technology-driven travel solutions[1]. Matteo Frigerio, Chief Marketing Officer at Agoda, stated that Singapore, as Agoda's home base and a global aviation hub, is the ideal location for the flights-focused campaign[1].
The in-house team at Agoda was responsible for the ideation and voice-over recording of the campaign. The campaign was inspired by Agoda's successful AI-led activations in India[1]. For those interested in viewing the AI-powered commercial videos from the campaign, links are provided here and here.
