Cleartrip, a Flipkart company and an online travel platforms, has launched its latest brand campaign, “Cleartrip pe Bachao, Trip pe Udao!”The campaign aims to shift the narrative in the travel sector from a singular focus on discounts to a broader focus on the richer, more fulfilling experiences that savings can unlock.
The travel industry has long been dominated by price-led conversations, where the value is often limited to discounts and offers. This has resulted in a transactional relationship with customers and low emotional recall. Cleartrip’s new campaign addresses this by tapping into a powerful consumer insight: people don’t remember the money they saved, they remember what those savings allowed them to do.
Speaking on the campaign, Pallavi Saxena, Chief Marketing and Growth Officer at Cleartrip, said, “In India, we’re experts at planning, but we often hold back on the little joys that make a trip special. With ‘Cleartrip pe Bachao, Trip pe Udao,’ we want to change that. We’re moving the focus from just saving money to what those savings actually buy you. Our message is simple: by saving on your bookings, you can afford to splurge on the experiences that make a trip truly memorable.”
‘While savings on a trip are functional, the memories they enable are emotional. Our campaign celebrates that emotional payoff. It reframes savings not as the end goal, but as the means to a more fulfilling experience, and that is the story travellers will share with their close ones for years to come. It’s a nudge to say ‘yes’ to those small, impulsive joys that transform a good trip into a great one,”added Govind Bansal, Head of Marketing, Cleartrip.
The campaign’s storytelling focuses on relatable, everyday moments where travellers hold back, and flips them into moments of unlocked joy and indulgence. This narrative is designed to resonate with the target audience of urban millennials and Gen Z (ages 18-40), who are frequent and aspirational travellers.
Neville Shah, Chief Creative Officer, FCB Kinnect, added, “There’s a special kind of joy in saying ‘why not’ on a holiday, whether it’s the better room, the longer stay or that one extra experience. This campaign celebrates those choices, made possible when you save more with Cleartrip.’
