International cruise line Carnival Cruise Line has launched its latest campaign, 100% Holiday, via creative agency Today the Brave, aimed at leveraging Carnival’s established brand recognition to drive consideration and conversion.
The move comes shortly after P&O Cruises launched its first campaign via newly appointed creative agency, Supermassive, with a mission to “reframe” cruising holidays.
Based around the power of human connection, Bring Us All Together, is P&O’s first brand platform in 10 years, and aims to cement P&O’s position as a market leader while evolving the 91-year-old cruise brand for modern consumers.
