LV CONSULTING

Airlines, camps and operators.

Selected work, described by what actually happened rather than by adjectives. Where a performance figure is still being confirmed with the client, it is marked rather than invented.

Renegade Air

Aviation Nairobi to Kisumu, scheduled service, 2021

The situation

A new carrier entering a route already held by established players, with no brand recognition and a narrow window to win share before the incumbents responded.

What we did

Led the digital launch: positioning, campaign creative, paid and organic social, and the booking journey from first impression to confirmed seat.

The result

Nairobi to Kisumu launched in 2021The route entered service in August 2021 and Renegade Air became a named competitor on the corridor within its first season. Add the load factor or booking figure once approved.

AirKenya, Regional Air and Aerolink

Aviation Safari air operators, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda

The situation

Three sister carriers serving the safari circuit with dated digital presence, inconsistent messaging and no shared content system across three markets.

What we did

Rebuilt the digital presence across web, content and social, with a shared editorial system that let three operators publish consistently without three separate teams.

The result

Three carriers, one publishing systemEach airline kept its own voice while running on a single content calendar and asset library. Add the engagement or enquiry figure once approved.

Acacia Collections

Luxury travel Safari camp portfolio, Tanzania and Kenya

The situation

A multi-property safari portfolio competing for international guests against brands with far larger marketing budgets and established global distribution.

What we did

Built the brand platform and a content system running across every property, so each camp keeps its own character while the portfolio reads as one house.

The result

One brand platform, every propertyPositioning, tone of voice and a working content calendar now sit under the whole collection rather than being rebuilt camp by camp. Add the reach or direct enquiry figure once approved.

Sabar Airlines

Aviation Nairobi to Mogadishu, Hargeisa and Juba

The situation

A regional carrier serving demanding markets, needing marketing that is modern and confident while staying accurate about safety, schedule and regulation.

What we did

Ongoing brand and content leadership, route communications, and commercial workstreams including reservations and payments infrastructure.

The result

Marketing function built from scratchThe airline now runs a documented content operation and a payments and reservations stack chosen on evidence rather than on a supplier pitch. Add the booking or conversion figure once approved.

Mission Tours and Travel

Travel Faith and group travel, Kenya

The situation

A specialist operator with strong word of mouth but little presence in the places where new travellers were beginning their search.

What we did

Campaign assets, content calendar and a marketing system matched to the booking cycle of group travel rather than to a generic retail calendar.

The result

Marketing timed to the booking cycleCampaigns now run against departure lead times rather than against the calendar month. Add the enquiry figure once approved.

Clients and sectors.

The core of the practice is aviation and travel. Work outside those sectors is what taught me how differently a B2B buyer behaves from a guest, and it still informs the aviation trade work.
