A new 60-second TV advert, premiering on ITV during X-Factor this Saturday (October 13), will kick-start the campaign and is the first headed by chief marketing officer Katie McAlister after taking over from Jeremy Ellis earlier this year.
Ellis left Tui in May after 27 years working for the company.
Speaking to TTG, McAlister said the “second phase” of Tui’s advertising would include its “cross the ‘Ts, dot the ‘Is and put ‘U’ in the middle” message, which debuted last October when the
company retired the Thomson brand in favour of Tui.
“The rebrand really delivered in terms of building brand awareness and recognition of Tui within the UK is at the same level Thomson was previously," she said.
“Now we have that strong base we want to go for a more personal emotional journey. Jeremy left us with a very strong proposition and we want to keeping moving that forward with our storytelling as a brand.”
