Runway Flight attendants are the brand ambassadors for the Delta brand - they are the customer facing arm of an 80,000 strong corporation, and Delta was looking for a way to keep them close to management and each other. To accomplish this, Delta approached BR& to create a magazine that would speak directly to them. With the explicit goal of creating a delightful and informative communication tool that helps breed Delta fanatics, BR& created RUNWAY. Inspired by the fun, light read of People magazine combined with the clean, high fashion look of Vanity Fair, we wrote, art directed and designed a personal and informative book for flight attendants. After an incredibly successful first issue, Delta decided to send out Runway to its In-Flight Service team twice a year. Each issue centers around a theme developed by BR& that highlights topics that are important to the flight attendants, including design, health & wellness, and innovation. The content is tailored to the theme and includes tips, tricks and useful information flight attendants need. BR& handles the entire project, from theme development to the photo shoot, to overseeing the printing. We also created an custom font, Runway Didot, that’s used throughout the magazine as a subtle nod to Runway’s haute couture inspiration. Sent out to 23,000 flight attendants and Delta executives across the world, the magazine has become an enormous success. It has created a stronger connection between the flight attendants and their leaders, and has provided substantive and informative touch points.
