A British Original

Analysis

British Airways replaced the usual business or leisure question with personal reasons to travel. This billboard gives bad weather its own checked answer.

“Because this weather sucks.”
Form parodyContextual copy

Why it worked

The sparse form makes the extra answer easy to read. An umbrella and overcast street give the line its immediate context.

Lesson

Use the location of an ad to support a specific reason to buy.
