Vrbo's new campaign celebrates “Only Your People”

A spacious home grants vacationers all the room they need for a comfortable getaway. Vrbo’s latest campaign illustrates some benefits that their large rental properties can offer — notably, privacy and security.

Vacation is about spending time with loved ones – not strangers. That’s what makes booking private homes on popular booking platform Vrbo a great option, according to the brand’s latest creative campaign, ‘Only Your People.’

Vrbo, part of Expedia Group, pairs homeowners with vacationers seeking places to stay, from cabins and beach houses, to condos and other kinds of housing. Co-produced by Vrbo’s creative team and Wieden+Kennedy, ‘Only Your People’ is a film series that displays how Vrbo properties, often full-size homes, provide guests with ample space and privacy, while preventing awkward encounters with strangers on vacation.

“Our new creative campaign spotlights why so many travelers prefer booking their vacations with Vrbo – because Vrbo guests always get the whole place to themselves,” Hector Muelas, senior vice president of global creative at Expedia Group, tells The Drum. “For ‘Only Your People,’ we intentionally featured different destinations and types of vacation homes to show that no matter what type of vacation you’re going on or who you’re traveling with, staying in Vrbo’s whole homes is the best way to be together with your loved ones.”

The spots will air this week throughout the US and Canada across broadcast, cable networks, digital video and cinema, while digital audio and out of home elements of the campaign will roll out in the coming months.

“This was an exciting opportunity to bring a unique visual language to the travel category—all while keeping Vrbo’s vacation homes at the center of the story,” Derek Szynala and Pierre Jouffray, creative directors at Wieden+Kennedy Portland, adds. “More importantly, it’s a great way to remind everyone that vacation is all about spending time alone with those you are closest to.”

The campaign comes on the heels of Vrbo’s Super Bowl pre-game ad, ‘A Place for Together,’ which represented the brand’s first major campaign created with Wieden+Kennedy.

Lovehoney produces how-to guide for turning off Google SafeSearch to access site

UK sexual wellness brand Lovehoney has created an instructional guide to raise awareness of how it can be hidden by Google’s SafeSearch. The SafeSearch feature, when turned on, prevents Google searches from returning ‘explicit’ results, but the brand argues this is being implemented inconsistently. For example, organic results and paid ads for the Lovehoney site – which contains actual sexual wellness advice – are blocked, while its products still show up on the sites of other retailers. As part of the awareness campaign, Lovehoney has unveiled an animated video guide with the aim to help those ‘suffering from SafeSearch’ (symptoms of which include suppressed sexual happiness). The guide walks consenting adults through the process of turning SafeSearch off, in turn showing them how to find Lovehoney without any issues. Lovehoney has also created an advice page with additional information on SafeSearch, as well as a step-by-step guide on switching it off. Lovehoney stated that it ...

Mercedes distances itself from environmental ads as it’s called out for greenwashing

Mercedes-Benz has claimed a campaign to promote its electric car range was not approved to run globally after it was pilloried and parodied by sustainability platform WhereFrom, which has accused the company of greenwashing. The campaign at the heart of the confusion (and controversy) was created by Leo Burnett Mexico. It consists of a series of posters featuring the Mercedes logo over close-up natural images and the slogan ’Nature or Nothing’. It quickly gained attention across social media and drew criticism for the claims of sustainability when Mercedes’s owner Daimler is currently facing legal action from climate groups in Germany over its environmental impact. Amid this backlash, sustainability-focused consumer review platform WhereFrom, in collaboration with the creative agency 10 Days, hijacked the campaign and replaced the original images with ones of fire, drought and famine. The copy was updated to read ’Climate change. It’s already here.’ However, the automake...
