Martinengo Communication was chosen by EVA Air in the embryonic stages of preparing the airline’s arrival in Italy and was tasked with implementing the communication strategy, the advertising campaign and the events related to the celebrations of the first direct flight between Milan and Taipei in October 2022. Martinengo Communication developed the company’s entire communication strategy in Italy, the digital, offline and Out Of Home advertising campaign as well as carrying out PR and press office activities.

The advertising campaign, live from July 2022 to January 2023, and the PR activities saw a perfect integration of digital, offline and Out Of Home tools that made it possible to reach the identified targets efficiently and effectively with distinctive elements, which combined with strong demand from passengers allowed EVA Air to immediately reach an extremely high load factor.

The new flight between Milan and Taipei allows the airline to attract more travellers from Europe and the Orient who can fly comfortably and efficiently to and from EVA Air’s main hub in Taiwan to highly sought-after destinations all over Asia and Europe.
