Context

Since August 2016, Transavia—part of the Air France-KLM group—has been working with ADventori to boost the relevance and performance of its digital campaigns through Dynamic Creative Optimization (DCO) and a team of dedicated experts.

Initially approached by the creative agency, ADventori has since supported Transavia in developing a full-fledged creative automation strategy, integrating complex data feeds to enable scalable, advanced scenarios tailored to a wide range of business needs.

Against the backdrop of a broader objective to increase ticket sales, Transavia’s marketing team faced four key challenges:

  • Increasing agility in campaign rollouts

  • Supporting guerrilla marketing tactics with quick reaction times

  • Real-time automation of campaign updates

  • Dynamic campaign orchestration across multiple European markets (France, Spain, Portugal)

Deployed Solutions

To meet these objectives, four distinct strategies have been defined:

  1. Consideration :
    • Weather-based scenarios tailored to departure and/or destination cities
    • Geolocated scenarios with dynamic pricing via API, surfacing relevant, cost-effective destinations
    • A search engine embedded in display ads, allowing users to select budget, dates, and departure airport
  2. Acquisition :
    • Geo-targeted and non-geo-targeted scenarios designed to acquire new customers
    • Highlighting top destinations per country with live prices via API
    • AI-powered route recommendations, surfacing destinations with strong conversion potential
  1. Retargeting (France, Spain, Portugal) :
    • Visitor segmentation by engagement level (hot, warm, cold) to tailor retargeting and maximize conversions
    • For hot/warm audiences: dynamic display of previously viewed origin-destination routes
    • For cold audiences: inspirational retargeting with appealing geo-targeted offers and real-time dynamic pricing
  1. Up-sell & Loyalty (France) :
    • Post-purchase upsell scenarios promoting add-ons like baggage, seat selection, and priority boarding
    • Adaptive messaging based on user purchase profiles and booked destinations
    • Real-time dynamic pricing of ancillary products

Key Learnings

  • Combining DCO with API-based automation unlocks unmatched reactivity—a must in a price-sensitive industry like air travel.
  • Granular audience segmentation drastically improves targeting accuracy and campaign performance.

This collaboration gives Transavia a decisive technological edge in a highly competitive sector, by leveraging data through advanced DCO and high-touch strategic support.
