Air Canada Unveils the Travel Like a Canadian Campaign
Grace Mahas — October 11, 2019 — Pop Culture
Air Canada plays on the commonly held belief that Canadians are extremely polite and well mannered in its new 'Travel Like a Canadian' campaign. The commerical features Sandra Oh -- a Canadian actress who is best known for her work in Grey's Anatomy and Killing Eve.
The Travel Like a Canadian campaign showcases the actress trying to "bring the world a little more Canada" by embracing other cultures through her various interactions. In addition, the commercial promotes stereotypically Canadian foods such as ketchup chips, poutine, and Caesars -- a tomota-drink with extravagant garnishes atop it including burger slides.
The Travel Like a Canadian campaign speaks to Air Canada's roots while promising passengers a polite and considerate voyage.
