Airbnb: Live There

Airbnb gives people the chance to have authentic local travel experiences wherever they go.

You "stay" in a hotel but you "live" in an Airbnb.

Design

"Live There" turned into a key guiding principle for Airbnb's future branding, and the language was incorporated into the re-design of Airbnb’s website and app.

 

Case Study

By proposing that modern travel is “sick,” this campaign challenged people to exchange tired tourist tropes for a more nuanced way of experiencing the world.

Following the launch, Airbnb saw an increase of 3 million users and a 14 percent increase in brand awareness.
