Visit Mum is the story of how one mother and her son captured the hearts of everyone living away from home. For British Airways, its a story of defying conventions in a category wrought with clichs and overly rational, price and product driven messaging by placing emotional, nostalgia-inducing content at the center of a retail campaign. Visit Mum not only reversed BAs fortunes on one of its most important routes, but set a precedent that would change the way BA approached retail marketing for years to come.
