Priceline's Getting Travelers off the Sidelines and to their Dream Destinations with Newest Campaign

This March college basketball fans can save as much as 50% off game-day travel with Priceline's new 'Buzzer Beater' deals for the biggest matchups of the season, /PRNewswire/ -- Priceline's newest integrated campaign, launching today, is waking travelers from their "dreamscrolling" and showing them that their bucket-list vacations are closer than they think. This campaign is rooted in a powerful realization that Americans are spending hours "dreamscrolling," the modern habit of endlessly browsing travel content without ever actually booking the trip. Priceline's new campaign is designed to inspire young travelers to get off their phones and take the real-life trips they are dreaming of. Priceline: Go To Your Happy Price In a 2024 survey commissioned by Priceline, over half of Millennial and Gen Z consumers said they dream about vacation plans every week, yet barriers like price and complexity hold them back. With Priceline's millions of deals, travelers can make that dream trip happen – whether it's catching a buzzer-beater shot live or finally booking that bucket list vacation. Stop Scrolling and Book It with Priceline: New Ad Campaign Featuring Kaley CuocoTo help combat the dreamscrolling phenomena, the campaign, starring Kaley Cuoco, is all about waking travelers from their daydreams to show them that their bucket-list trips are within reach. Each ad features a person who is lost in a pink-cloud world fantasizing about their perfect getaway. Suddenly, a whimsical travel guru, played by Cuoco, disrupts their dream and encourages them to stop dreaming about a trip and start booking with Priceline. "I love being part of Priceline's mission to help turn their dream trips into a reality," said Kaley Cuoco. "This campaign is all about reminding travelers that their 'happy place' is closer than they think -- it's just a flight, a hotel, a deal away. I hope it inspires everyone to finally take the trip they've always wanted."The campaign tips off with a basketball-themed spot premiering this week. In the ad, a passionate fan dreams of himself in a stadium watching his favorite team compete to win it all, only to be jolted awake when Cuoco – floating inside a spinning basketball – reminds him that with Priceline's unbeatable deals, he can finally experience the excitement in real life."Travel has the power to turn dreams into reality, and with Priceline, that reality is more accessible than ever," said Lesley Klein, SVP, Strategy and Brand Marketing at Priceline. "This campaign is all about breaking down the barriers that keep people on the sidelines – whether that's cost, hesitation, or just the feeling that travel is out of reach. By delivering unbeatable deals and exciting partnerships, we're making it easier than ever for travelers to stop dreaming and start going."'Buzzer Beater' Deals: Limited-Time Offers for Basketball Fans1Just in time for the height of the college basketball season, the integrated campaign continues with 'Buzzer Beater' deals, offering big savings for the biggest tournament of the season.
