Methods and Strategies

“Travel like a local, anywhere in the world” In 2017, we sought to increase the scale and visibility of Citi World Privileges; through increasing the offerings, and improving the go to market strategy. We introduced the Citi World Privileges integrated marketing plan in 2017 across 14 markets. This plan integrated communications and compelling offers with every touchpoint of the Card members’ travel journey; targeting them at the pre-travel and destination stages. The tagline, “Travel like a local, anywhere in the world” was communicated through 3 thematic campaigns for the year.

The approach











Increased scale of offerings: We partnered VISA with an Application Programming Interface (API); increasing the number of offers and compelled all Citi usage teams to actively upload offers. This drove an impressive 150% lift in website offerings; from 4000 to 10,000 offers. Improved Citi website navigation to Citi World Privileges: We worked with individual markets to improve the navigation experience of the Citibank website into the CWP website, driving more clicks to site. Tapped on Citi’s proprietary targeting platform: The regional team worked closely with markets to set up communication targeting rules across all markets for Electronic direct mailers (EDMs) and Short messaging service (SMS) messages to be sent to relevant Citi customers at both pre-travel and destination stages which are triggered by Card spends at either stage. Strategic media targeting strategy: This was split into pre-travel advertisements (while they are planning for their vacations); and destination advertisements (while they are on vacation). o Set up regional Facebook ad account: Working with approvals from markets, we ensured every Citi market with Facebook presence is linked up with our regional media to launch the regionally led amplification via social. o Digital and Social Media: Increased digital spend on Google Display Network (GDN), Facebook and Instagram. Served animated banners/carousel/videos to target audiences either in their home or destination countries; to drive them to CWP website. We targeted a mix of Citi card members using remarketing of Citi Log Out audiences and custom audiences on Facebook; and also Prospects through interest/topic targeting centered around travel and shopping; and competitor targeting. o OOH media: We put placements on popular flight routes on the Singapore Airlines in-flight billboard. Hence, reaching out to Card members on the start of their travel journey, to encourage spending in their destinations. Brand & Marketing Communications: We launched 3 thematic campaigns focusing on strategic merchant categories such as retail and family activities to make Card members aware of the various available offers. Communications included Digital Banners, Social Media Posts, Electronic Direct Mailers (EDMs), OOH media at the pre-travel and destination touchpoints. We utilized animated visuals as these have proved to garner the highest engagement and click-through rates. o Globe theme: To kick-start the campaign, the globe theme was an introduction into the world of offers available around the globe. Using refreshing animations, we wanted to encourage users to spend with their Citi Cards during their travel and enjoy exclusive offers.
