For Airbnb’s first ever tv campaign we traveled six weeks, visiting Tokyo, Bangkok, Paris, New York and Los Angeles to capture what it’s like to really live somewhere. John and Michael (aka Fig + Flan) conceived the campaign at TBWA\Chiat\Day. Holly kept us in sync on behalf of Airbnb. Lovely Thom wardrobed, Jan and Julie produced, produced, produced, and Wildermuth AD’d the sh*t out of it.
