Jet2 : From one plane to the UK's No1
Grabbing UK holidaymakers’ attention by holding their hand
Twenty years ago, Jet2.com was a small, low‑cost airline with a single aircraft. Since then, a long‑standing partnership with IMA has helped the carrier become Trip Advisor’s number‑one airline in the UK and expand its fleet to 100 aircraft while growing sister brand JetHolidays into the nation’s second‑largest tour operator.
IMA acts as Jet2’s lead agency and brand guardian, managing every aspect of their marketing strategy from brand‑building to destination and hub activation.
The collaborative “Hold my Hand” campaign launched in 2016 captured the hearts of holidaymakers across multiple channels and has built instantly recognisable brand equity.
The relationship has evolved from press‑first strategies to a digital‑first, paid‑platform approach.
Year‑on‑year growth has come from benchmark‑setting, multi‑channel, digital‑first media experiences across five always‑on brand and business units.
IMA manages quarterly “always‑on” campaigns encompassing TV/VOD, radio, OOH/DOOH, YouTube, social and digital display outputs across Jet2Holidays and its sub‑brands.
