Travel Sentry

Brand awareness campaign within airport departures

Project Description

To create a brand awareness campaign, using an AI character-driven animation for use within British airport digital six-sheet display units during Christmas 2025.

Travel Sentry is the global leader in travel security standards, with its technology implemented in over 65 countries and featured on more than 600 million products globally.

Discovery and character creation.

I conducted a workshop with Travel Sentry, exploring previous marketing campaigns, concepts, and characters. During the session, we developed a theme and story for Christmas 2025 that could later be expanded to be included in a B2C brand strategy.

I developed a series of concepts around the character and the theme of "What matters to you matters to us," focusing on securing the things that are most valuable to travellers. The Guardian ghost character was used to represent the silent protection that TSA provides.

AI workflow and comping.

The animation needed to be short to catch attention and to fit within the allotted time slot for the digital six-sheet display unit. I created a workflow formula for the structure of the story so it could replicated for variants and still maintain the overall message.

The AI workflow was a combination of generative assets and Photoshop comping, whereby assets were isolated and then recombined in After Effects in order to maintain more control over the timing and character movement. Two versions were created showcasing different luggage and Travel Sentry locks.

The campaign ran for six weeks throughout the Christmas period of 2025, raising brand awareness and celebrating the festive season for travellers leaving the UK. The videos were also repurposed for social campaigns through the same period.
