The Challenge
Melbourne Orlando International Airport, a vital regional hub on Florida’s Space Coast, faced the challenge of standing out in the crowded Orlando-area travel market. Despite offering a convenient, stress-free alternative to larger airports, it struggled with low national brand awareness and needed to modernize its image to attract more leisure travelers and airlines.
Our Solution
We launched a full-spectrum rebranding and awareness campaign. Our strategy combined creative Guerrilla Marketing stunts in key markets to generate buzz with a polished new visual identity from our Graphic Design team. We bolstered this with a National SEO strategy to rank for traveler searches and deployed targeted Google Ads and engaging Social Media Ads to showcase the airport’s unique benefits and drive direct bookings.
The Results We Delivered
Within the first year, our integrated campaign dramatically shifted perceptions and performance:
-
Increased organic website traffic by 105%.
-
Achieved a 37% higher social media engagement rate month-over-month.
-
Grew their social media following to over 39,000 engaged travelers.
“Working with The AD Leaf was like getting a full brand transformation. They took our message of convenience and made it impossible to ignore, which has directly impacted our traffic growth,” an MLB representative stated.
