Turning the joy of flight into a connected campaign journey.

A three-channel campaign concept for Kitfox Aircraft designed to move adventurous pilots and hands-on builders from aspiration to deeper product interest and community trust.

The opportunity

Sell the freedom first, then earn the high-consideration click.

The audience was defined around pilots, experimental-aircraft enthusiasts, outdoor adventurers, and hands-on builders—primarily ages 35–65—who value independence, craftsmanship, and access to remote places.

The campaign leads with the emotional reward of backcountry flight, then introduces capability, avionics, builder credibility, and community. The intended journey is awareness to website interest to qualified inquiry—not an unsubstantiated promise of sales.

Channel architecture

One idea, three different jobs.

Attention

Instagram

A 28-second vertical reel makes freedom and backcountry capability immediate, with a fast emotional hook built for discovery.

Consideration

YouTube

A widescreen pre-roll concept pairs rugged STOL performance with modern avionics for viewers actively researching aircraft.

Trust + action

Facebook

A three-card carousel moves from remote access to fly-camping lifestyle and finally the builder community and lead-generation CTA.

Hero execution · Instagram

Backcountry adventure in a mobile-first sequence.

The reel uses remote takeoffs, canyon flight, riverbank landings, and fly-camping to make the product benefit visible without requiring technical knowledge. It closes on discovery rather than a hard sell.

Publishing system

Twenty planned moments, each with a distinct job.

The October calendar extends the campaign beyond paid placements. Reels and flight footage create reach; factory tours and technical content build authority; builder stories and community posts reduce distance; guides and links create a path toward inquiry.
