Ideas, not a fixed plan.
The brand spine stays internal as the editorial filter, commercially sharp, operator-minded, built from instinct rather than the polished corporate aviation mould. Below sits the thinking itself: three workstreams, every idea on its own card. This is an ideas phase to help shape the brief, costs, scope and timing are indicative; full pricing and a scoped plan follow in the proposal. Outlets and placements named throughout are indicative; the actual titles and partners would be confirmed then too.
Open any card for the full breakdown, competitive context, media rationale with real audience numbers, and a precedent case study. Tell us what you think on any card (love it, let’s discuss, not for me, or a note), and use the box at the bottom for ideas of your own. Think of us as an extension of your team, if there’s something you want us to chase, say so and we’ll run with it.
Brand & direct acquisition
The always-on commercial story. Three workstreams: make AirX the operator brokers reach for by default, build a direct enquiry pipeline through digital, and establish category authority in the Middle East ahead of the Saudi build. Where Money Flies sits underneath as the editorial proposition, the quarterly data report is the engine, every other line ladders up to it.
John Matthews · CEO programme
Earned-media-led, paid-amplified, owned-asset-banked. The anchor is one long-form profile of John, written once, that becomes the canonical reference for the next five years. Around it: the long-form conversation formats he’s strongest in, the owned audience that compounds, and the cultural-credibility moments that take him beyond aviation trade.
CNBC documentary distribution
The highest-leverage workstream: the film already exists, so the job is to make that asset travel and work as hard as it can. Year 1 goes privately first (premiere screenings), publicly second (clip package + coordinated launch), then at scale (broadcaster and platform pickup, plus advertising-led viewership if you want it). How far you push it, and how much sits behind it, is a dial you control.
